October 8, 2023 - Ummm, yeah.....I'm just not quite feelin' it. Tried a sample at the pnp but gave it a 90 minute decant, 90 minute slow ox after that......drinking 2 hours more over dinner. It's Cab Franc centric at that point on the nose and the palate, which is nice because I love Cab Franc...but, it's just not that great. It's really pretty darn average at a 92-93. Airtime from the pnp on out (3-4 hours) doesn't seem to be much of a factor other than improving it a point over that time from 91.5 to 92.5?.....it's well made but at the same time has only minimal complexity overall. I've been holding this last bottle quite a while so I expected more. Maybe that's on me? Obtained from the winery directly and cellared at 55 degrees ever since so I can't say it suffered somewhere else......

January 20, 2023 - Blueberry, black cherry, milk and bittersweet chocolate, soft sweet tobacco and menthol. Fine but plentiful tannins, a great finish that show softness and strength.

August 1, 2022 - At PNP the first thing I notice is the overall balance of this bottling compared to the Estate. Less sweet blue fruit which makes this more enjoyable for my palate.
