  Lovely pop and pour with food. This may be in a strange aging period. The nose was bright, but palate that was a bit soft but still with of cranberry and herbs.

  This bottle was Cabernet perfection. Right from the start it was rich, ripe, smooth, balanced with a long sweet finish. Darker fruits, blackberry some blueberry, a hint of graphite and just enough earthiness.

  What a difference 4 years later! Quick double decanted, like 10 minutes and consumed in a 2 hours span by the beach.
  
  The wine is big and bold, a classic Napa with a touch of sweetness and oak but not over the top. The finish is pleasant and long.
  
  I think this is drinking PRIME at the mement and should stay like that for at least 5+ years. I wish I had more!

  Popped a bottle at a steak house. Probably should have decanted it, but wasn't thinking. First tastes were dusty and tight. As it opened up, the fruit definitely expressed itself. I giot flavors of berries and cooking spice. Was a touch tannic, indicating that remaining bottle can lay down for a while yet. A pleasant bottle with a steak for sure.
