  February 24, 2024 - Drank to celebrate EOY bonus.
  Surprisingly open on PnP, although this did improve with a decant. Decanted 3 hrs prior to drinking. Mouth aeration helped quite a bit as well.
  Velvet and rich - a full bodied cab. Black and purple fruited.

  August 7, 2022 - Probably deserves a better score at its peak but spent so little time there! Was drinking nicely right out of the bottle but when I went to drink it from the decanter a couple of hours later, it was completely closed down (no nose, no fruit, dark bitter chocolate and green notes). Didn't open back up until another 2 hours later (with coaxing) and was superb. dark red and blue fruited with "plus" body and luxurious mouthfeel. Coffee, chocolate, coal dust and more in layers that linger on the finish. Nice minerality with ample acidity to keep bright.

  March 19, 2021 - Such a stunning profile and stylish, with a full body and polished texture - the tannins are of microfiber. Blueberries, blackberry cobbler, Kona coffee, anise and slight cedar, with a lovely touch of menthol. The finish echoes for quite some time, and the layers of glorious fruit continues on kindly. Open and ready, but the two hour decant did not hurt - that I can assure you. (There’s this addicting cassis aspect throughout every phase.) One of the finest Napa “blends”. Drink now - 2033.

  October 25, 2020 - Delicious rich wine. Flavors of blueberry and cassis. Improved over the night while decanting. Agree with others in that the 15’s are drinking well

  June 6, 2020 - Captivating, expressive nose with earth, loam, blueberries and some liqueur. Dense and powerful but elegant. Long finish with a hint of dried herb and freshness. Pure Napa. 95-96p.
