too young, but still a great effort... nose of rasberry, allspice, red licorice... medium-full bodied which surprised me..long great lingering finish, again of rasberry, red fruit, vanilla... a bit bitter on palate or i would score higher.. should get better/smoother with a little more age...very enjoyable

At Mitchells house, we decanted and let sit for two hours while we sipped some 20 year old single malt. Dark Color, nose of crushed fruits, palate was smooth with dark berries, plums, licorice and tobacco, a really nice finish

Jill's 31st celebration with EVERYONE at the crib! (Talman Avenue): Thanks to Rob Woodford for bringing this over to celebrate Jill's 31st. Classic almost culty Napa styling. Great cassis, leather and cigar box. Well integrated tannins on the finish. Great showing of the vintage.

Beautiful black cherry liquer, molasses, and light green vegetation on the nose. Dark mocha chocolate and light white pepper. Fantastic powerful, bold penetrating entry with exploding flavors of blueberry, spice box, dark berry jam and light vanilla essence. Excellent QPR. Smooth, powerful, bold and yet graceful.

Good wine at the end of its time. Dark, smokey, smooth tannins. Glad I bought this.

Needed to open up. Much better on day 2 than day 1. And again better on day 3. Dark red fruit, leather, nice acidity/fruit balance.

Coming together in its drinking window with bright red fruit on the nose, dark fruits on the palate, tannins smoothing out for a medium finish.
