Just a small taste. I'll defer to Joe's notes as I had packed it in at that point. But this was impressive, much more balanced than I expected. Sure, it is a big wine, lot of dark fruits here, but they are not over done; and there's a load of complexity now to really enhance this and make it classy and interesting. Great to get to try this.

California wines but not from Napa: What a difference 4 years makes. Decanted 30 minutes, this was the most deft and lifted Saxum that I think I've had. Still full-bodied, lots of spices, herbs, flashy fruit, blackberry.

CT says to drink by 2021 - this was pretty good on opening and after a couple of hour of air.

Holding up very well. Strong dark fruit, floral notes mollified but present tannins, full bodied, long finish. Even better the second day. Very enjoyable wine.
