April 3, 2022 - Dark, inky wine. Dark fruit, blueberry, graphite on the nose. Graphite, spice/pepper, dark fruit, blueberry, smooth, velvety, long finish. Much better than the last time I had this bottle. Pure enjoyment. Drank with no upfront aeration. Terrific!
December 14, 2021 - Agree with most recent comments. Wine is getting beyond peak. Dark, inky wine. Dark fruit, graphite on the nose. Graphite, spice/pepper, dark fruit. While I enjoyed the bottle, it didn't hold up.
January 30, 2021 - Very smooth, delicious. Enjoyed with a piece of grilled beef tenderloin.
September 16, 2020 - I'd say this is on the down-slope. Not as much fruit as my last bottle and starting to develop some meaty/funky notes that I'm not crazy for.
February 29, 2020 - Still delicious. Velvety.
December 12, 2019 - Wonderful but sadly my last bottle.
February 17, 2019 - Absolutely fabulous wine. Drinking so nice. Nice dark in color. Spice and very full fruits.
January 6, 2019 - As before, a delicious Howell Mountain Cab. Y U M!!!
August 3, 2018 - Notes consistent. Has improved with time. Terrific bottle with ample life remaining.
June 27, 2018 - Another great showing. I like this wine and wish I had more.
