  July 8, 2022 - Final bottle - fruit still showing - but I don't expect further improvement. Balanced and integrated. Improved after being open an hour. Classic napa valley floor flavors. Reminds me of home (I moved this bottle with me to Sydney.) If only I had a piece of American prime beef...

  February 5, 2022 - Something was kind of off. Tasted like someone spilled Tabasco on an old rug.... Don't ask me what that was...

  May 29, 2019 - I drank one glass on the property. Stunning! Just Stunningly good. I swear to god, I think Ms. Fleming must somehow engineer these (based on my first ever bottle): LUDICROUSLY LOW scores/empty reviews.
  
  Q:: BUT WHY???
  
  I had really wanted to ambush the maker before reporting this, with suitable cash and fair wine trades in hand, but it’s an injustice to THE TRUTH itself to not leave anyone looking here with a taste of reality. (Pardon)
  
  We drank the other glasses over dinner at SOLAGE, where my not easily impressed vampire companion made big goggle-y bug eyes at sip #1.
  
  Likewise the sommelier. Fleming is His workplaces’ neighbor. He asked for the bottle and tapped into his phone a changing priority...
  And one sip to the not expressly vinous waiter got the same wide-eyed amazement. I had to chew (ample) sediment (in both the bottle and then in my pie-hole to find a taste anywhere NEAR 92 pts.
  
  MAYBE ITS A SLEEPER.
  WIDE AWAKE NOW, Bud.
  Fabulous purity. Superb flavor. Beyond notes
  Not a millimeter into stew, heat, flab or twilight.
  
  97-98 points.
  
  A::: MORE FOR THE CASA!
  (Duh)
  
  Am very truly and dead seriously contemplating this instant a run up to Calistoga with treats from my cellar to get more TODAY.
  
  I’m going up.
  Life is short.
  Napa close.

  February 3, 2019 - Had it late in a wine dinner night, so this is an unfair assessment. My simple statement - drink this now.
