My bottle seems to have differed from recent tasters - tightly wound, structured, and not giving much until a good day after opening… if I had another I’d wait 3+ years, right now it’s dominated by slightly woody tannins and a streak of tart acidity

Love it. Not yet at peak. Gotta be able to tolerate those green notes…beautifully expressive and a ringer for a quality left bank bordeaux… though with airtime the hint of sweet red fruit classic for old Napa starts to peek through

Lovely and in a perfect spot. Slightly confected deep red fruits, leather. Doesn't really develop sous bois notes but almost a bordeaux kind of tertiary character...while still remaining definitely a Pinot. No rush.
