Blinded a dear buddy in the wine trade on this tonight, guesses all over the place, in a great spot, want to see this in 10+Y.
72H Update:
Nose has crushed blackberries, ripe plum, dried plum, dried tart cherries, moist mahogany and faint moist soil. Palate has tart plum, light molasses, blackberry compote, faint leather notes and fine tannins. Not as good as day one, but no slouch on day three. A wonderful experience, many years in the bottle to go ahead. — 3 years ago
Really smooth. Vanilla spice, beautiful mouthfeel and cleansing finish. Nice 👌 — 5 years ago
Lighter than expected, great tertiary notes — a year ago

Lots of jammy fruit, less peppery. It really fleshes out well over a couple of hours. Good everyday value. — 4 years ago
Super tasty cross between CENTRAL coast CA Pinot and southern Rhône Grenache blend. Just the right amount of fresh black cherry and gentle Mediterranean herbs - lovely, low tannin profile with balanced acidity that defies the 14.5 ALC. FABULOUS at Otto Turkish Döner :) — a year ago

Moderate pleasing reductive nose, mineral, tastes like a cross between Blaufrankish and PN. Perfect pairing with lobster — a year ago
