February 28, 2024 - 99 POINT WINE
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing much age.
Fruity nose with cedar and chocolates notes.
Full bodied and elegant, soft and smooth.
Dry on the palate with medium-plus acidity.
Showing black currants, plums, cedar, cooked cherries, spices, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, herbs, dark chocolates, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark coffee.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Napa Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend. Nicely balanced and peaking now.
Rich and fruit forward with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
Robert Parker 99 points. Wine Spectator 94 points.
Will continue to drink beautifully in the next 5 to 7 years.
Good by itself or with food, like a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 8% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

February 10, 2024 - Two hour decant. Fragrant. Black cherry, blackberries, chocolate and oak. Rich fruit, full bodied and structured with finesse. Good balance, polished tannins and a long finish. Paired fine with ribeye though it might have been better as a sipper with charcutier.

November 21, 2023 - Elegant and clean. Decanted for 2 hours at 65 degrees F. Dark fruits, particularly cassis on the nose. Background of vanilla and baking spice as well. Medium minus bodied. Medium + tannins. Medium acidity. After dinner (we are now going on 3 hours of decanting), well-balanced. I started the evening thinking it was a bit hot, but with time, the wine shows itself to be winner!
