  Disappointing given its price and reputation. Deep cherry red color edge to edge. Not much on the nose even on the second day. Plush on the palate but without a lot of definition. Dark chocolate, blueberry, black cherry, tobacco. Beautifull resolved tannins, nice acidity, good balance. Finishes moderately long with soft cherry notes. Became almost muddled with even a little air. Not a bad wine, but not great by any means. No idea how much longer this will drink without falling apart. I wouldn't wait.

  I really enjoyed this one. Drinking right at the peak with ripe cherry, leather, mint, plum, dusty earth and mineral. Full integrated and ready to go. It’s a mix of new and old world Napa.

  A really enjoyable wine with lots of dark fruits, minerals, hay and hint of tobacco. Tannins are holding it together but allowing the acids to really drive the experience. Lots of life left in this one.

  Very nice full flavored red with fruits and earthy minerality. Tannins were present but not in the way of the fruit.

  Opened for a few hours. More density and ripeness than the Cask but also less finesse. Ready to go now but still plenty of time. Dark fruit, leather, mineral and all spice.
