May 27th, 2015Classic Napa cab! Always a treat. Lots of Tanin and oak with some leathery notes. Dark berries, and a little cola.

Mar 12th, 20151hr+ decant. Definitely starting to fade. Classic Neal nose and flavors that are always distinctive. Very similar to previous notes. Depth starting to thin out. Wine was very different later in the evening.

Oct 9th, 2021PnP’d, but this needs about an hour of air. Dark purple color. Nose and palate initially dominated by olives and black fruit, but with air and time it becomes more Bordeaux like. Silky, smoky finish at the and on the finish. Probably past prime, so drink soon. Love Neal!!!
