Absolutely wonderful. I disagree with the drink-by day on cellar tracker as this could still have another 2-3 years in the bottle and continue to improve. Have another bottle and will wait to drink it

Absolutely wonderful. I disagree with the drink-by day on cellar tracker as this could still have another 2-3 years in the bottle and continue to improve. The fruit is nice on the front end with a great balance on the tannins. It stood up to the steak but certainly didn’t require food to fully enjoy it.

A lot of tobacco. Played really well against freshly ground black pepper on the steak we had with it. Smooth without being boring. Just want to drink like three bottles of it!! Didn't get a lot of fruit. More of that tobacco/leather/earth, maybe a little vanilla as it lingers in the glass.

Beautiful wine after a 1.5 hour decant. It was close to being even better but the finish didn't last as long as it could have on the palate.

Very vegetal. Not unpleasant, but not fantastic either. It 'tastes' like a 2011 Napa cab. Poor vintage, so hard to make good wines.
