+1 hour decant(some fine/cloudy sediment). An amazing inky purplish magenta color. On the nose: very aromatic nose with perfumed dark red/blue fruit, forest floor, herbaceous, currants, smoked wood. Taste: so easy to like!!! creamy, velvety, concentrated, elegant mouthcoating wine with dark cherry, milk chocolate, cassis, minerals, baking spice, and a espresso-graphite long finish. YUM! Entering its drinking window with time to go.

Nov 1st, 2022Wow a beautiful inky black garnet! Nose - red and black fruits and subtle stewed meat aromas hits your senses followed by perfumed soil, graphite and licorice scents. Taste - Black cherry tart and a jammy mouth coating feel sits on the palate and is nicely concentrated; notes of blackberry fruit, cocoa, oak and earth notes follow with a long pencil lead tannic finish! Absolutely lovely. Looking forward to seeing how it opens up throughout the evening.

Apr 24th, 20221 hour decant(much fine/cloudy sediment). An astounding inky dark garnet color. On the nose: red and black fruit, perfumed floral notes, forest floor, little smoked meat, graphite. Taste: Great juice! Smooth, creamy, intense and concentrated mouth coating wine with blackberry/black cherry, oak, earth, campfire, and a cocoa pencil lead looonnng finish with a slight tannic kick. YUM!! these really need a good 10 years..think I should of decanted a little longer and looking forward how it evolves over the night.

Apr 24th, 2022The never released 2011 vintage, but finally after 10 years, felt it met his standards and released. Ony 3 barrels of this old vine cab.
1 hour decant (some cloudy sediment) A splended dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: beautiful notes of blackberry, green bell pepper, slight menthol, tobacco, black olives. Taste: Wow! Smooth, rich, juicy, silky mouthfeel, medium plus body wine with dark fruit, earth, leather, green veggies, and a minerally espresso slight tannic kick long ending finish. Punches above its weight class for the wine critics maligned 2011 vintage!
