January 20, 2024 - I should have read the reviews on here before I opened this! I had this as a pop and pour, having taken it to a local restaurant to go with beef bourguignon. This wine was almost overpowering, with intense flavors that I would normally love, but they seemed just a little too harsh or astringent or tannic (or all of them). I suspect a nice long decant would have taken care of it, and a couple more years in the bottle should also help. I usually love my Napa Cabs bold and intense, but this was just a little too much.
What a difference a day makes! After being overnight in the bottle (half empty but with a cork), this wine was so much better! More well integrated and balanced, with a loss of the harshness and loads of fruit. At least a 94 on Day 2. -

December 16, 2021 - Previous reviews are dead on absolutely this needs to be decanted. I was curious about round Pond and the 2018 myriads so I broke one open knowing it’s early. Poured a glass and quickly put it into the decanter with the rest of the bottle because it simply wasn’t ready. Tight and highly alcoholic on the open. A few hours later and it opened up nice. not a big nose or a ton of structure but astringent. not a lot of fruit but very smooth and well made. Will definitely do better with some time.
After 4 hours this really comes into its own. Turns velvety with a hint of cedar I believe. This only gets better.1 person found this helpful Comment
