Wow! Huge structure dark chocolate, espresso, pencil lead, huge Rutherford dust, dark fruits, violets, black licorice, smoked meat (bacon which I hate but will accept in my wine) peppercorn and mild vanilla. Unlike Lorie wines I am not detecting vegetal notes at this stage!
Medium tannins nice integration, med+ acidity, great balance. Kudos @Anthony Biagi ! — 3 years ago

Jeff Smith, Tony Biagi… going to lay a few bottles down & savor one over the holidays, just to see how it is drinking 😉 — 4 years ago

When considering price, I find it hard to compete with this wine. The new entrance of @Anthony Biagi ‘s Patria is around the only wine I think of. These are beautiful Napa Cabs. Beautiful. Floral. Rich. This one is still slightly tannic and pulls at the mouth but o can imagine it a few years from now approaching the 10s or other years that mellowed out. I could drink @Sean Capiaux ‘s wines every day. — 5 years ago

Awaiting correction, but this is the Blueline Estate, Ambassador Cuvée. Not familiar with this and no info on the website. Hoping @Anthony Biagi can shed some light. 240 bottles produced, so initially thought a single barrel wine. Hmm.. no Varietal listed, so now thinking a blend. Gave this four hours of air on Christmas Eve. Shy on the nose to start, but smooth and elegant with blackberry. Merlot? Nose is more open on night two. Cab Franc? Some menthol sneaking in on the nose as well. Whatever composition of a Bdx blend it is, it is a treat to drink and putting a positive note on the 2011 vintage. — 7 years ago

Ever since we did a tasting with @Anthony Biagi i find this hard not to drink - even young. What a difference Tony has made for Hourglass as well as his own line of Patria. I probably drink his wines 1 out of every 3 or 4 bottles I have. This is a rich, opulent wine and was WOTN when we did our hourglass virtual tasting. — 5 years ago
