From my good buddy @liteitonfire. Beautiful, bold Napa cab. A very distinct hint of spiciness on the pallet along with strawberries, black cherries, black licorice, and mocha. New world.
It's been two years since my last opportunity to experience this bottle. Not much has changed as the fruit is still cruising with massive power. Ripe, broadening dark fruits with firm tannic structure. This baby is just getting hitting a window that I enjoy.

Lunch with Brad Grimes. No formal notes written but this bottling is still a baby next to the others. Still plenty of dark fruit baby fat to shed. This is just fantastic and will gain complexity with time. 08 Thorevilos 09 Cappella 10 R.H.

This is imo at peak/at prime. Will probably stay here for 5-7yrs. Basically an outstanding Napa Cab balancing fresness and fruit.

This is big and bold. But remains fresh. Give it 2-3 yrs and then a 2hr decant. Then I think it will be at its peak.
