Lovely wine. Give at least an hour decant now. Great ripe black and red fruit, great minerality. Excited to see how it develops with time. — a month ago

this door was sealed shut at first…unripe apricot, stone and shell, bitter lemon, brutal acid, some fleeting floral characteristics snuffed out instantly….day three the greek chorus emerges (“absent figures” appearing in the glass perhaps?), parts the clouds and plugs you deep into the earth, grapes as ancient microbes in a salt water bath enclosed in columns of clay on a torqued caramel apple plinth with a dry-sherry frieze. — 2 years ago

Second bottle, about a year and a half after first. Much more approachable on open but still deserves a nice decant. Dark red fruit, some crème de cassis coming through, red licorice, dark chocolate. Tannins are velvety, great mouthfeel. Higher alcohol is well hidden. Nice long finish. — 2 months ago

One of the best cabs you’ll ever taste brooding dark flavors of roasted cherries and cocoa powder with violets and spiced plums. The wine is smooth and full-bodied with a powerful tannic edge. More red fruit emerges on the palate, adding an extra layer of complexity. The wine is youthful and refreshing on the finish. If you can get it, buy it! — 3 years ago

Higher acid and less fruit from the 2022 but still a standout SB — 7 months ago
