first snow day of 2024, goes well with the jaws puzzle, a fire and some football! — a year ago
Puzzle and chili night with Katie — 3 years ago
A taut puzzle to start. Better once decanted and given 30-45 minutes to open. Once through that rectification (it was yesterday’s word of the day) this baby was quite the ride. Beautifully fragrant and inviting. Not deeply dark in color but still richly deep purple. The fruit is layered and comes in waves. Dark fruit, blueberries lingering finish. I expected this to be a very good CA Cab. I was wrong this was special. Lots of resonating impulses here. Loved this. It was great. — a year ago

Going to need to hold these for a few more years, the 2019 still needs some time.
Graphite dominates the palate. Lots of tobacco and vanilla too. The fruit just isn’t there. Tannins are super strong, lots of English breakfast. Medium acidity. It’s really tasty, but I suggest letting it rest. — 6 months ago
