  This was a very pretty wine. Absolutely ready to go upon open and felt like it was fully mature. Beautiful nose, almost weightless mouthfeel, and a great finish. QPR? Not really there, but loved this nonetheless. Would I buy more? No, but it was given as a gift and drank with the person who gifted it months ago, so poetically it drank even better. Sunday night drinking which capped off a special weekend with a lot of rock-star wines (emptied out the wine cellar starting on Thurs), I think if this had been consumed in a vacuum maybe it would have scored better, but this was effectively the headliner and was outplayed by the opening acts, which is exactly the point.

  Napa 2023: the quieter version; 2/6/2023-2/11/2023 (Napa/Sonoma California): Rare to see this wine quite so immediately ready to go. Last time we did this tasting I don’t think it ever quite got there. Today was quite different. From the get go it was ready to grab you. Beautiful darker fruits and a bit of sweetness and again that freshness and just very well balanced. It’s an excellent wine having a lovely moment although for peak I still think it needs some more age.

  An explosive flavor palette. Wow. I was pretty pickled but it was a head snapper. Wake up! Really really great wine and worthy of the cult can status. Highly recommended

  Dark plum colored to magenta edge. Nose is black fruit, cedar, maybe stewed tomato, gravel dust. Palate is blackberry, graphite, caramel, crushed rock, spice, and cedar, maybe a touch of raspberry jam. Slightly bitter mid-palate. Full bodied and still quite tannic, big finish. I agree that this has potential to improve with more time, but also feel it is in a zone where it's drinking pretty nicely, particularly decanted and particularly paired with something substantial. There's a lot to like in the breadth and complexity. Very nice, definite upside.
