What a nose. Could have given it more air and I m sure it would have been better. — 8 days ago

Brother in law brought out some amazing wines for Easter dinner and his son’s birthday. Didn’t catch them all but these two were exceptional. This was decanted and allowed to breathe. It just kept getting better and better. Amazing nose, great depth of flavors in the palate and a finish that lasted. Probably the best one of these I have had - suspect was due to the age, decant and atmosphere. — 15 days ago

Opened and got about a 20-30 min decant. The nose on this was amazing and it literally filled the room upon pouring. The flavors were accessible from the start and delightful. Less dense/heavy than the Abreu but not a lightweight by any means. Again dark fruits and a finish that lasted. Was the WOTN by many being easy going but delightful. The Abreu made you think (and was my WOTN), this just made you happy. — 21 days ago

Lost notes but liked it. Not calling amazing but it has solid nose and palate. It wasn’t a - you need to find this and more see what other samples you have from this producer. — a month ago

We called this as being mellowed with time versus muted. The flavors were great but lacked acidity sharpness. Mom said she was a big fan of this. Very enjoyable with the standard flavors but not as intense. — 8 days ago

The nose faded fast but was great while it lasted. The finish is getting longer as it gets air and I’m liking it. Could be a bit more powerful and getting a bit of bramble/greenness but enjoyable. I had put off opening these since I thought it would be lackluster. It’s not and will be looking for the others. — 18 days ago

Fabulous. Son’s birthday dinner. Opened this and the Tor at the same time but saved this to go second thinking it needed more time on the decanter. Certainly more structured than the Tor with a lighter more restrained nose straight from the bottle but wow what power. With time that nose showed up and the bouquet leapt from the class. Classic delightful cab nose and dark fruit. Heavy, dense and oh so delicious on the palate. Finish lasted. This you knew was going to be great right from the start with a quick taste. Only got better with time and could have used even more than the 90 min decant. — 21 days ago

Brother in law brought out some amazing wines for Easter dinner and his son’s birthday. Didn’t catch them all but these two were exceptional. This one got a short decant could have used more opening time but who are we kidding it was amazing with a pop and pour. The depth of flavor right out of the bottle - insane. Amazing nose, great flavors in the palate and a finish that lasted. Clearly WOTN and we should have given it way more time. I gave it as much time in glass as possible. To hard not to drink. — 15 days ago

Not bad. Light on color and the flavor profile followed. Interesting and fine but nothing revelatory given its age which is why just ok. — 20 days ago

Lost my exact notes but this was good enough that I saved the bottle to look for it. Punch but not brutal. Liked it a lot. — a month ago
