Drank over several days, with a half glass to finish up tonight. Still young, I wouldn't open another for a few years. Tannins are a bit dry, even on day 2, but otherwise a superb wine and everything you'd want from a top LPV. Inky dark, with big blue and black fruits, violets, tobacco, mouth coating, with a minute long finish. A few points upside for the tannins to mellow out some more.

Disappointing, pared with Alpha Omega, Saturday night dinner. Alpha had the dust, classic top shelf cab. Fait Main, monotone, boring fruit, embarrassing choice for a night with friends.
Powerful and concentrated with dark fruits and that bold cab spice you get from Beckstoffer. It was excellent for those who enjoy this style of winemaking

Opened wonderfully after a 4 hour decant. Berries, pencil, soil, green pepper notes. Nice finish.
