  Candied plum and cassis, big, sweet, almost liqueur-like. There's some additional floral and coffee complexity but the style of the fruit is difficult to enjoy. ~84

  Very pure, big structured wine, with rich intense blackberry fruit. Still very young. This wines literally tingles the mouth all round. Despite it's obvious youth this can be enjoyed now, particularly the finish which is long, warm and multi layered. There are notes of cinamon and sandalwood. Suggest waiting another 10 years.

  California Wine Weekend; 12/1/2023-12/3/2023 (Mos Eisley Cantina & Waterhouse Restaurant): A showy rich red/black fruited Colgin that has everything dialed up to about 9.5 but pulls back before going too far overboard. Sweet oak, blackberry, cherry pie, baking spices, sage, sandalwood and violets
  
  This is a wine that I think would have been better earlier in the evening, and was disadvantaged by being a higher abv wine late in the evening.

  Maybe the best Cab I have had this year so far.

  Really nice but not extraordinary. Didn’t take me to some new place where flavor and nuance make passionate sweet love. More like a Bevan that’s a tasty two-trick pony, which is lovely but just a questionable value proposition and unsure how to think of this as straddling the divide between pleasurable Napa berry bombs (albeit with age and wisdom here) vs some great aged Bordeaux.
