Decanted 3 hrs. Dark fruit with almost fully integrated tannins and nice acidity. Lacked some depth of fruit and finish was a bit short which prevented a higher score.

Deep dark purple. Love the aromas of blackberry pie, toasted oak, charred plums, tobacco, river rock and vanilla bean. Palate however doesn’t fully match the beauty of the nose. Dark fruits with hints of mocha. I’m at a 3 hour decant and it’s slowly getting there but this baby will need few more years to integrate. Puckering acidity, powdery tannins and good length on finish. I’m a 93 now but that can definitely improve with time. Cheers all 🍷🍷

Was concerned about opening this so young, but it's already showing really well. There's the big black fruit you'd expect, but with excellent acidity and tannins that are very fine and well integrated already.

Great without decanting. Slight fruit forward but not jammy.

Open with fruit notes on the nose and a vibrant palate. Quite enjoyable

Napa trip November 2020; 10/31/2020-11/14/2020 (Napa, CA): Very nice. Juicy through the middle. Drinkable now despite its youth. Expect it to get better as it integrates.
