  This wine has such a purity to it but it's also quite tannic still and needs a ton of decanting time. After 3 hours, it started to blossom especially with rack of lamb and a wonderful berry spice shows up to accompany the succulent acidity and beautiful black currant/cassis fruit. There's also a gritty Rutherford dust note which gives this wine excellent vigor. The finish is lean and stylish with a taut, mineral intensity. Interestingly, the '13 Kronos is more open than this wine. Trusting as I do in Cathy, I'll let this one sit for 5+ more years to reach peak. 93+

  Poured small tastes and decanted the rest. Extremely tight and unyielding on the nose and palate at first, showing only an intriguing whiff of wild blueberry in front of an armored wall. After two hours, this has become a lot more expressive: flowers and the same blueberry note, cassis too, edged with mint and sliding into a medium-long back end of black fruit and a little cedar. Overall impression is at the cool, blue end of the palette. Great depth, texture, and balance, but aromatically reticent; hold or decant far in advance.

  The nose was amazing filled with dark fruits, cedar and menthol. Smooth palate only slightly tannic.

  Dark red color. Black currant, mineral bouquet. Smooth rich, ripe fruit entry and supple mid-palate. Still has some moddst tannins in it’s finish. Good complexity and varietal definition here. Will hold 4-5 more years, but enjoyable now.
  Decanted 4 hours prior to tasting.

  Was better day 2. Smooth as can be. Dark fruit. Compared with brother to 2006 Kamen. Close second.
