  Super tight on opening. Took 1 hr to become drinkable. Inviting aroma, with tannins softening up and making it an enjoyable yet complex big boy. Good for many more years

  One year ago, another reviewer called it hyper-saturated and oaky with blackberry fruit. Today, shows more black cherry, graphite and some tobacco notes--more in line with Napa style than typical Washington. Excellent.

  Deep purple color offering succulent, lush, enticing aromas of black cherry syrup, black raspberry, spearmint, vanilla and graphite. Cornucopia of red berry blend and Lucky Charms marshmallows that start and finish hot. Brief mid-palate reprieve is your opportunity to enjoy the fruit. Unfortunately, the dominant alcohol effectively does a number on the fruit. Such a shame. Best enjoyed during this youthful phase.

  Small US new arrivals tasting hosted by a merchant. Intense, bursting with black and red currant, cassis jam, vanilla, liquorish and some graphite flavors. The palate is juicy and sweet with the intensity to match the nose. Firm structure but well-integrated tannin. Super young obviously and somehow doesn’t quite manage to fan out into aromatic breadth just yet. Hence 94 for now but could ascent into >95 territory with bottle age.
