Wow! This was awesome! 1hr+ decant. High quality and elegance all around. Enough said!

Simply awesome! 1+hr decant and needed a lot more as the best glass was the last. Great nose of a classic Bordeaux. Wine was restrained at first but then showed integrated elements of cherries, cedar, and licorice. Bigger tannins than I was expecting. Insane texture and big depth. Loved it!!

Beautiful and classic NAPA red... with lots of oak, blue and black fruits with a hint of minty eucalyptus... reminds me of Opus One! Very elegant!

Wow! Had high expectations and they were exceeded! Insane nose, that blends Napa and Bordeaux. Palate is smooth, with a great mix of fruit, earth, and smoke. Extraordinarily smooth and refined. This is what wine should taste like!! Don't tell anyone about this, as I want it all to myself!!

I am out of my league here - one of the most prolific and deep wines I have ever had. I can smell the Eucalyptus and it is soothing in the mouth - wish I had the patience to store this. Wow...
