February 20, 2022 - Nose is bursting with herbal notes, green pepper, garrigue with red fruits behind. Still very fresh, with solid tannic structure. Muted oak and the fresh herbal, red cherry and raspberry notes did not lead me to Napa cab in the blind tasting but definitely a fun and lively wine that's drinking well and can last much longer.

April 23, 2018 - Cork perfect, vinturied w/decant, still has vibrant color, no rust seeping in yet, massive oak concentration at this point, mid in the mid palate, thin in end unfortunately, not enough tannin/fruit to hold off the oak.
I probably miss the window..although really holding up,well for a 20+ Napa can, just under engineered for the long hall.
