Dec 11th, 2022Beautiful dark black-purple color. With a bouquet of dark cherry and cassis nose mixed with green veggie, eucalyptus and forest floor. Tastes of dark blueberry, blackberry and currant fruit; smooth and silky in the mouth. Tannic, pencil lead, and spice finish with some heat on the throat. Lovely rich and bold wine.

Feb 9th, 2019Off to Napa tomorrow for a big wine dinner from Cliff Lede wines...so had to break out a big Napa cab tonight.
Decanted 1 hour (decent amount of fine sediment). Color is an intimidating dark black/purple. On the nose: blueberry, forest floor, cassis, mint. Taste: blueberry. BlackBerry, pencil lead, currents, spice...nice full silky mouthfeel with a little tannic grip and a little heat from the alcohol(+15.6!!) at the end...drinking nicely but could use a couple more years.

Not sure if it’s the bomb. Caramel on the nose. Slightly smoky. Smooth.
