  April 20, 2024 - Approachable red fruits on the nose but to be honest for some reason I’m not really smelling much of anything I feel I should be. Lighter in style than the 2018. Tannins are super soft compared to my last few bottles I’ve tried from mascot. Could it be the vintage??? I gave this 2 hours of air in the bottle. Slight bit of spice. I’m so use to this wine being so huge an enormous an I want to say this is more harmonious than the previous vintages I’ve tried at such an early age without a ton of air.
  
  Day 2. Keep in reg food fridge Wine is super opaque
  Still taste pretty mellow in my opinion an it’s a good thing It’s in harmony already for the most part. It can dEf be more harmonious with time but this is what the wine drinkers want. A wine they can drink immediately upon purchase. The tannins are still soft but linger throughout the finish.

  March 15, 2024 - Pulled a glass from coravin. Left in glass for about an hour to let it breathe. First time having a mascot and I am impressed despite this still pretty young. I can taste and smell a bit of the alcohol but overall it is fantastic. Very balanced with the fruit and acidity. Great mid palate and finish. Tannin is very fine and I really like the finish. Definitely not as sweet as some of the napa cabs I've had and this is more my preferred style. I'm looking forward to see how this ages.

  February 27, 2024 - One hour double decant. Very very deep magenta color. Frosted red velvet cake, rosemary, tea, cassis, and pink rose. Dry, nicely textured palate. Full, lower intensity tannins on the longish finish.
  
  This was my first bottle of the ‘19. Very solid with a short decant. Still a modestly good QPR.
