January 26, 2024 - Drinking well now, this has overtones of loam and earthy berries. Tannins are nicely integrated, and there is just a touch of heat. Pairs well with pork tenderloin. Should drink well for another 1-3 years.

December 24, 2023 - Quite disappointing wine. I have always been a big fan of Dick Arrowood but we opened three bottles of this for a big Christmas Eve dinner and no one was excited to drink themafter tasting. I'm not sure what happened because the last bottle I opened, in August of 2020, was very enjoyable. No score or tasting notes because I've waited to long to remove these bottles from my CT inventory, but I'm not looking forward to drinking the last bottle. I entered "I like it" because, although it was disappointing, it was drinkable and not horrible.

June 27, 2023 - This is going to be a beautiful wine, but it needs more time. Decanted two hours, should have done four hours. Wonderful on the palate with a long finish. Cork in great shape.

April 2, 2023 - Finally getting there. Underlying flavor is really good, but tannins still big. Maybe best 4th night under pump. Wait longer if you can.

February 18, 2022 - A step up from the last time I had this, and could taste some of the underlying cassis that could play a much bigger role in a couple more years. But still a tannic beast (even with long decants) so hard to enjoy without food. I'd wait a while yet.
