Decanted for one hour. Nose of blackberry, currant, milk chocolate, black licorice and spice. Ripe black fruit, chocolate, licorice, spice and fine tannins on the palate. Layered finish with good length. Full bodied. Still young and will improve with age. Revisit in 3-5 years. Served with hickory smoked, reverse seared porterhouse steaks and garlic herb butter.

Double decanted for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Started consuming about one hour later during a 3 hours span with my friend Christopher.
The nose is fantastic and pure, bold body, a lot going on here, still too much fruit at this point. Now it will qualify as the classic Napa fruit bomb but the finish is really nice.
This wine is not at a good phace now, the best days are 2-5 years down the road but having 6 bottles I have it a try and it was a good experience.
93+ HOLD.

Medium color, great blue fruit, opened up nicely but since there were four of us, we only had one glass each from this maker. Smooth tannins with a long finish

Good but not great. Would have expected it to be smoother, given it’s age
