May 12, 2023 - Two and a half hour decant. Deep dark, mostly ruby color. Plush, ripe blackberries, raspberry, tea, praline, cinnamon sugar old fashioned donut, and subtle hydrangea. Dry, velvety palate, with nice, granular acidity. Firm, medium intensity tannins on the long finish.
Such a nice drinker. Not nearly as confectionery as I’ve made it sound. This is a serious CS, with no extracted notes. -

January 27, 2023 - Two hour decant. Deep dark ruby magenta core, with some fading beyond. Blackberry, plum, black walnut, marshmallow, graphite, turmeric, and tangerine rind. Dry, wonderfully textured, full bodied palate. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
The mouthfeel is so great that you don’t want to swallow (get your mind out of the gutter). Terrific complexity. This is must be what drinking a great wine at its peak feels like.2 people found this helpful Comments (2) -

December 31, 2022 - See prior notes - age has treated this well. Drinking just beautifully right now, with minimal sediment, lots of fruit and 30 second plus finish. Hints of roses and chocolate too

November 10, 2022 - Love the profound aromas on this Kings Row. Somewhat brooding, toasted cedar, firewood, roasted dark fruits, burnt tobacco, slate and flint. Smooth palate, adding some mint, dark chocolate and gravel. Tannins are resolved, so focused with long finish.
