May 23, 2020 - Opened my final bottle tonight. Same notes with a more acidic mid palette. Still nice but perhaps a bottle not to standard of my prior noted one.
I reiterate my notes and add just the mid palette point. Downgraded to 92 -

November 18, 2019 - A very well aged wine and worthy of being called better and scored as a better wine than what is presented here right now on CT in notes. Smoothing vanilla mask a balanced acidity and tannin resolved ripe fruit. I find myself chewing as the fruit is just so present and forward. Is this a 22 year old Cabernet here ?
Just an awesome experience which I had not expected. -

November 14, 2015 - A very nice well balenced cab, great color just a touch of brown on the edges. Well balenced tannins, great structure and complexity and that wonderful cab mouth feel. Enjoy!
