Super sophisticated. Intense fruit, infinite depth. Dark profile. This is one hell of a wine.

What a beauty. A little green and Young’s still but a rich and wonderful wine. A little Methodist Pyrozeen maybe like you said but no complaints on my side. Thanks Aron for sharing this wine.

Just glorious. Have loved this wine every time I have tasted it so far. Great depth of fruit, but also has terrific freshness and verve. One of the wines of the vintage. Tasted during our St. Helena & Conn Valley Vinous Learn masterclass.

A very solid wine for a difficult year. Deep dark ruby. Juicy blackberries, black cherries, currants, aged leather, tobacco. A bit chalky with a full mouthfeel. Depth and structured with smooth tannins and bright acidity. Drinking well now after 45 min decant. Really enjoyable!

2017 vintage. Light-medium body. Nose strangely quiet upon first opening. A bit of punch up front but most of the show mid-palate. Lengthy, soft, supple finish.
