Firmer tannins and a more herbal finish than the Hourglass we enjoyed the same evening - plenty of dark fruit and chocolate flavors before the slightly tight finish

Pretty much the same as my last comments. Very approachable with some extra time for air. Still better day two. Nice level of fruit, finish, dark fruit. Really nice Girard cab. Honestly, I still think the potential is here for a 92-93. Window might be a little longer than 2027 but would expect improvement to happen over the next 2-3 years. Enjoy.

Still a little young, but approachable with some extra time for air. Definitely better day two. Nice level of fruit, forward but not a fruit bomb. Really nice cabernet like all of the Girard cabs. Honestly, I wish I would have been a bit more patient because I think the potential is here for a 92-93. I will spread the remaining 3 bottles out over the next several years. On par with the '13 with potential to be even better with a little more time in the cellar. Enjoy.

No doubt having very young, but it exhibits a lot of potential. Still a little tannic, but the Veeder blue fruit starts to shine through after an hour. Looking forward to the next eleven bottles over the coming years as it ages.
