Enjoyed a bottle at RdV yesterday. PNP, took about 30 min to really open up in the glass. Black cherry, blueberry, leather and graphite. Silky smooth on the palate, tannins are well integrated. Incredibly balanced at this point. Definitely more reminiscent of a left bank Bordeaux than Napa/new world. Full bodied, long finish.

Excellent VA blend. Tasted respectively after big Betz wine. Plenty of fruit, game and forest floor. Not past peak.

Coming of age, fruit is as present as it gets, tannins are fading
