July 26, 2023 - After the first couple hours, this wine was an 89-point wine with too much alcohol, but after the third hour the alcohol dissipated on the nose and palate the the wine really softened and rounded out on the palate, with the black fruits and black currant becoming more layered and seamless; Vanilla Oak emerged and became a bit creamy with background touches of tar.

March 19, 2022 - Evolved, secondaries, great balance, pretty classical Napa, some bricking, still has a decade to give.

January 24, 2022 - Purple in color. 15.9% ABV. Heady nose of black and blue fruits, Whitman Sampler box and molten licorice. Full bodied with notable balance. Big, rich and incredibly plush. Blueberry liqueur, creme de cassis, black currants and chocolate on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Completely over the top and completely delicious at the same time. Best over the next 6-8 years.

November 25, 2021 - From a 3L.
Not hot, mellow and amazingly smooth. Silky with subtle oak and faded fruit. Still bright and with bidy and depth. Not complex, but still a crowd pleaser.1 person found this helpful Comment -
