Drank along two WA blends and this was middle of group. Best on Day two, so still plenty of life, but needs air and room temp to show best. Plums, earth, tannins on finish well integrated.

I bought a case of 375 ml bottles via Berserker Day XI and there appears to be a bit of bottle variation. Some bottles seem muted, some blossom with food, and for the first time this drank very well PnP. Fellow drinkers put this right behind a ‘13 O’Shaughnessy Mt Veeder. Me a little further back given the competition. Lovely BDX profile with earth and red, mostly cherry, fruit making up equal parts of the profile. These seem like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. Tonight we got the good stuff.

Most Bordeaux-like wine I've had from Napa. Excellent! Clear but restrained fruit, lots of earth and herbal complexity, and nice acidity.
