  This is a classy wine - and after 4 - 5 hours open, subtle, regal and even reserved. Black cherry, some blackberry and even at this young age some secondary characteristics such as smoke and cedar and cigar/leather. But it’s SO primary - what’s it going to be in ten years? I predict great things - and fortunately have five more bottles. If I have any sense, I’ll wait until at least 2028 to try again. I think it has tremendous potential.

  Juicy black cherry is the core of the aromas and flavors. Bolstered with licorice and baking spice notes. Resolved tannins. Decanted one hour.

  Elegant and different from the typical high end Napa with Dark cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate and spice. This is a beautiful medium body made in a bordeaux style and has grainy tannins. Well made. Approachable now but will also be for a decade or two. Wife had a bad week and wanted something good! Happy she enjoyed it. NI:4, FI:22, FC:9, B:4, L:3

  Lots of promise here! Fresh currant, capsicum, espresso, oak, and smoke. Nicely rich but balanced and zippy on the palate. This could develop very well indeed.
