    February 3, 2024 - This wine is very muted, even after decanting. It's fine, but lacks balance as there is a lack of tannin to match the acidity profile. Good juice, I just wonder if that balance will come around with aging as early on this was very closed up, but over time it's slowly opening a bit.

    November 11, 2023 - Great Cab! Delicious after a 2 hour decant. Didn't try it before decanting, but guessing on the quality, it is ready to PNP!

    October 24, 2023 - Drank very well after a recent bad experience with n.43. Drank over a couple of hours and good throughout. Losing a bit of body, but as these get to be 5 years old, I'm not too surprised. Dark fruited.

    May 27, 2023 - IMHO, not quite ready for “prime time”. Poured into a “Big Apple” decanter for about 30 mins prior to enjoying. Youthful aromas and flavors: upfront raw sewage notes, followed by blackberry, black cherry, vanilla oak, cinnamon, and unresolved woody tannin. Thin finish. I didn’t enjoy with food, but I suspect this might be enhanced by a piece of grilled or smoked meat. Drink 2023 though 2030+. Possible potential.

    December 26, 2022 - Muted nose but definite cab profile. Tight tannins. Seems like this one either need many years or was not to the taste of the guests. Try again in a year or 2.
