  January 22, 2024 - 91+ fruit fading of course, still opaque, tannins totally resolved at this point. Stilll enjoyable, although I think a touch past peak in terms of structure and fruit.

  August 20, 2020 - Pop and pour and boom the flavors come out! Took a whiff and dark fruits with some earthiness not over top but enough to be pleasant. Swirled the glass and the color and structure were as a good wine should be with legs in the glass. But the winner for me is the taste and how to coats and tingles your mouth. Really enjoyable pnp Cabernet that came together nicely and ready now.
