Solid stuff. No real sense of place but a well made Napa cab. Needed about 5 hours to really strut.

Good stuff in here but just too young. Hold a minimum of 3 years.

(My portfolio) Yes oh yes! This has aged SO well! Nicaraguan tobacco, mocha and black earth. The nose is a bit muted at the moment but it hardly matters when this hits the palate. The tannins are amazingly well integrated and the finish is more than 2 minutes in length....

Fruit forward, but palatable like a bold cab. This wine holds luscious blue and red fruits to the palate with no bite. Fantastic wine!
