  4 hour decant and drank over 2 days. Decant but a big one dimensional. Was hoping for more nuance.

  Coravined. Very deep dark magenta color. Dark raspberry, freesia, chocolate, and subtle herbal notes. Smooth, dry palate, with satiny acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.

  Slow ox for 2 hours and still coil tight. Double decanted for an hour and finally started to open up. I suspect this will continue to improve. Hold until 2025.

  First bottle of this and very good. Black fruit and touch of meat but giving a decent amount on the nose. Soft enough now but has some fine grain dry tannin. Plenty of fruit and acid with a relatively fresh finish. 3/4 cab Sav with Cab Franc, petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot making up the rest.

  Needs a decant. Still grippy tannin initially but not harsh. Very nice fruit which integrates well with the tannin. Flavors of cassis, graphite, some oak/caramel early which dissipates over time. Whats amazing is the sillky texture and amazingly long finish. This wine is still young but is enjoyable now. Its worth opening a bottle now to enjot the texture and amazing finish
