February 13, 2022 - The wine was sensational from the first pour..what a treat to find this in the cellar. On the palate there was lots of chocolate, cherry and some plum. It still has years left to go. Enjoy!!

It almost has peter-pan syndrome. Lush and full with an expansive mouthfeel. All in complete balance - no heat at all. Finish just keeps going and going. I imagine this wine has years and years ahead of it, and it is perfect right now too.

March 21, 2020 - My tasting notes from last May are still accurate and I would add a particular herbal nuance that I found in this last bottle with hints of eucalyptus as well. Black cherry fruit still present, and for a wine that achieved 15.2% abv, it is remarkably not hot on the palate! Tremendous wine that still has another 10 years in my opinion. Further confirms this special plot of dirt high above Napa!

May 25, 2019 - Oh man this wine is ridiculously good at 13 years of age! Loads of structure and dark berry fruit with licorice spice and a nose that keeps you smelling the glass long after the unfortunate last sip. Best bottle of wine I’ve had in a long time. Will stand up to any Grand Vin I’ve had from Napa. I hate the way Napa prices are trending but if you can buy a premium wine at auction for a “reasonable” price then they are still worth every penny.
