A bit diluted. Picked too early?

A bit closed on the nose and still some alcoholic heat which proves that additional cellaring is needed. Besides that a fantastic wine. Quite some acidity which surprised me for a Napa wine. If you have this wine I would keep it at least another year or two before opening it

I’m liking what I’m smelling. Pepper and spice on the nose. Subtle tannin and complex notes of fruit and earth on palette. Finish is tannin. Early. Shelf life to it? Too young?

Decent. A bit early to drink this baby although we decanted for three hours. Dry and dark fruit. Paired with wagyu

Enjoyable, but could have sat longer. Not as good as previous vintages.
