July 24, 2023 - Pnp.....big, juicy Venge wine. Dark purple in the glass. Nose of big, sweet Cali dark red/black fruit. No hint of this being a Bdx blend early on. It's just a big Napa cab fruit bomb.....however.....1-2 hours in and subtle changes take place. A little more diverse fruit shows up to alter the cab profile....balanced, as so many of the Venge wines are. Great acidity on the back end carries the ending for a good 30-40 seconds. Perhaps a nuanced 92 by the end of the bottle?

April 29, 2023 - blown away by how yummy this is drinking. vibrant red fruit vanilla and white pepper well into mid palate followed by a long finish. Still fairly tannic so may even get better with bottle age, but it was so good now I wouldn't save it!

March 26, 2023 - Pnp, a bit disjointed. After 24 hours in the fridge it was much better. The typical Venge fruit was there in gobs but also some structure. I think it will improve some over the next few years. Some..
