Drinking really well now. Still a lot of dark red fruit, full bodied, cassis, pencil and spice. Tannins are rounden well of. good intensity, long finsih. Needs decanting and a couple of hours of air.. will still age nicely I guess, if a had more bottles I would try one again in 4-6 years. Paired with deer, porcini with cream and rootveg.

Tasted closed this night. It's not over-the-hill - still a very hard frame and thick tannins - but it didn't reveal much fruit or any flavor intensity. Just a blur of blackcurrant, coffee, soy sauce, and oak notes. Probably better down the road but I'm not convinced this has a lot of upside. Technical score: 89. Enjoyment score: 86.

(CLOS DU VAL NAPA CABERNET SAUVIGNON) #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-the most elegant; polished; like Clouds; cigarette component; little mothball component; rounded out by half-assed Raspberries; TASTE-good firm tannins; some greenness (Cabbage); dry & focused; there's a sour component that's off; I'm a little perplexed; not quite right; GV-87

While the fruit is starting to fade, this is still drinking nicely. Dark fruit, pine and earth, w soft tannins.
