deep colour Nose a little reticent compared with the opulent 2016, a little earthy, some raspberries and a herbal quality Tannins firmer than 2016, dark chocolate and then a prune/ date dried fruit character, long and then a little wild, even animal at the end. Very different to the polished classic 2016. This has a long life ahead of it

Tett mørk blå med lilla kant. Middels + intens på nese, aroma av mørke plommer, blomster, sjokolade og kaffe. Lett parfymert preg. Sødmefull, rik og konsentrert frukt. Mørke bær, lakris, blomster og sjokolade. Tett og stofflig munnfølelse. Litt tynn i avslutningen, men sitter jo en god stund.

Open for a week and a half in the fridge. This is the Napa Cab on steroids expression. Silky dark berry, plum. No raisin. Medium tannin. ABV shows on the finish. No cracks, all filled in.

2017 Friends & Family; 9/20/2017-9/23/2017 (Portugal): Dark purple in color. Blueberry, a touch of herbs, and some rose petal on the nose. Well-balanced tannins and very long finish. Blueberry, cocoa, and a touch of spice on the palate. Aggressive tannins that give way to some residual dark fruit on the very long finish.

2015 Vintage Port Tasting; 8/29/2017-8/31/2017 (Sammamish, Washington): Re-tasting this bottle two days after opening. Dark fruit, blueberry and boysenberry and a touch of cocoa on the nose. Medium-full bodied with dusty tannins and a long finish.
