April 28, 2018 - Decanted. Clear deep garnet color. Outstanding bouquet of red currants and cherries, cigar humidor, dried porcini mushrooms, pencil shavings, old leather, red stones and earth. Similar on the palate, assertive but light on its feet, seamless, smooth and mellow, beautiful balance, silk-satin mouthfeel, lingering finish.

July 17, 2016 - Allowed to breathe in bottle 2 hours, then decanted 45 minutes and served. Clear deep dark garnet color. Classic bouquet of dark cherries, boysenberries, currants and their liqueurs, anise, fennel, mocha, forest floor. Similar on the palate, full body, excellent balance, seamless, lingering finish.

July 2, 2016 - Allowed to breathe in glass 30 minutes before tasting. Clear deep dark garnet color. Classic bouquet of mixed dark fruit: blackberries, cherries, currants, along with fennel, anise, vanilla, hints of nutmeg and clove. There is also a most welcome sense of terroir or minerality: stony soil, sandstone, dry forest floor, something along those lines. On the palate, this is full bodied, balanced, seamless, elegant, fresh and pure, with mouthwatering acidity and lingering finish.

September 12, 2012 - Popped and poured. Well integrated vintage cab. Although retains a nice earthy nose and some bright fruit. Better after a short decant.
