Drinking very nicely right now with notes of blueberries and blackberries, a nice grapyness that I loved. Some cigar box and cedar, vanilla too. Nice plush mouth feel but enough acidity to keep it lively. Delicious.

Had this side by side with a Hestan Meyer Vineyard 2014 cabernet (rated 95 by WS) and I thought it held up quite well. Dark berries, spices and sweet tobacco on the nose and palate. Super-expressive and rich with great concentration. Soft tannins, well integrated acidity, full bodied Napa cab but not over the top. Medium length finish. Worth $40+ spent and worth the 10 year wait. Still has life left if properly cellared.

Dark berry compote, spices, sweet tobacco on the nose. Super-expressive and rich with great concentration. Soft tannins on the palate, well integrated acidity, big without being heavy. Good length to the finish. 90-92

Dark cherry notes with good if not exceptional structure. Smooth finish. Enjoyed but dint have the complexity of many wines at similar price point.
