April 17, 2020 - This one falls into the just ok category. I had hoped for a little more after 12 years in bottle.
If you like big, very dark Cabernets, then this one is for you.
While it had nice integration, well rounded and was smooth, its fruits are all very dark, blackberries, black raspberries, black plum & some dark cherries. Almost nothing in the way of mid red fruits. Heavy on; tarriness, very dark spice and the darkest of expressos. Baking spices; clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon and dull vanilla. Dry top soil & clay, stones, dry crushed rocks, touch of dry herbs with withering dark & red flowers. The acidity was round and nicely done. The long finish is elegant, smooth, somewhat balanced but, all primary in terms of darks tones.
This will age for another 10–15 years with proper storage. -

March 2, 2017 - Lots of creamy black cherry and red cherry fruit with a nice streak of Rutherford dust. More cherry fruit lingers on the medium long finish with well integrated tannins and a silky texture plus just enough acidity to keep it fresh. Mature and around peak, drink now through 2018. Good stuff.

November 19, 2015 - Deep ruby red color. Still a little acidic and tannic but nice layers of ripe figs, toast, coffee, licorice and spices.

August 26, 2015 - Nice deep red color. Not a big nose but nice mouthfeel. Flavors of blueberries, strawberries, red licorice and tobacco. Short but pleasant finish. At its peak or just beyond peak.
