This is drinking well now with sweet tannin, dark fruits and spice. A bit on the acidic side and a bit of alcohol on the finish. A bit disappointed for a wine at this price point. I actually prefer the regular bottling. This wine improved significantly after a couple of hours. Initially a 91 evolving to a 94.

Excellent balance with deep black and blue fruit. Still show fairly significant chalky tannin. IMHO, were going to drink these over the next few years as we're a bit spooky on the huge, 16.2% alcohol, but it could last a good bit longer. I loved this at release and bought a chunk of it. It's pretty beautiful right now.

Splash decant, hour of air. Somewhat shy. Beautiful looking, smooth mature texture not showing any grainy chewy qualities. Was hoping for a bigger, more massive cab, but still a very solid number. Fatted calf ny strips

Really stunning for being almost 20. No real signs of Breckinridge, tannins has softened beautifully, but still present.

Drinking very well. Surprising Bordeaux profile with cedar, leather and minimal dark fruits. Holding well.
