  F***ing awesome. Probably a few more years in it but felt close to peak to me. Don’t bother decanting - good straight from the uncork

  Excellent with purity of red and black fruits, mocha, espresso, and a bit of meat on the end. The oak is well integrated and so are the chewy tannins.

  Bordeaux blend 50% Cab, 25% Merlot, the rest Cab Franc. New oak and wood spices on the bouquet with dark fruit notes. On the palate there is a richness with this wine, with red and black fruits macerated with espresso, earth, and chocolate notes engulfed in sweet chewy tannins. Quite pleasing and easier than I thought to drink but with much Howell personality. Good job. 94-95. 800th Tasting Note!
