  April 13, 2024 - My last bottle of this… after being a Myriad Quivet
  Becklyn Ancillary buyer for several years , his quickly ratcheting prices have turned me off..I find far more compelling wines at far better prices in other places.
  Ok that said..tonight this was blue and black berries
  With a taut minerality and smooth tannic envelope..
  It’s quite delicious but for the price and not to mention current pricing.. look elsewhere

  July 14, 2023 - Blackberry, blueberry, plum, double dose of licorice and leather. Sexy, decadent, plush tannins with another 20 years in the tank.

  June 25, 2023 - Deer Valley Palooza in 3 stages with Mark1npt and Agelvis; 6/25/2023-7/1/2023 (8,100 ft): Drank this PnP after a mistake with our intended bottle. Really good from the start. Smooth, silky, I found more red fruits than I expected, but sweet red fruits rather than tart. And mixed with black. Nice longish finish. This one really developed well although I am not sure there would have been any point in holding for my palate.

  June 2, 2023 - What a journey for this wine, a Phoenix rising from the ashes and much better than my last bottle. Deep purple deep colored, blackberries, black cherries and cream de cassis tobacco with a tannic backbone and nuance. This wine shows big and full-bodied with intense depth, ripeness and a nice long finishing. My last bottle took a detour, but this Cab is back and open for serious business. 96+/ 97 points. Yummy! 🍇🍷😋

  April 21, 2023 - 2016 Quivet LPV vs 2016 Bulgheroni Lithology LPV.
  
  Overall, a nice matchup for the evenly priced LPV offerings (at least, in the secondary market). I preferred the Lithology (Melka) while my wife preferred the Quivet (Smith). Classic LPV - blueberry, mineral, crushed river rocks. We had with sushi and over the course of the night, but agreed that the Lithology would go really well with a steak - which it did the following night for 1 remaining glass. I thought the Quivet was more austere, which is surprising for a Mike Smith wine. All notes aside, the pricing on Quivet has turned me off from purchasing given the large increases in the last few years.
