Queen concert weekend in San Jose! 1 hour decant (lots of fine sediment). A compelling dark red/purple. On the nose: black fruit, eucalyptus, veggies, cedar, earthy....all jump from the glass. Taste: rich and full mouthfeel with black cherry/plum, gravel, chocolat..nice medium finish..drinking well right now

Jul 14th, 2019Dacanted 1 hour(very little sediment). Still a dark brooding black/purple color at this age. On the nose: black fruit, mint, cedar, stewed prunes, green veggies. Taste: black cherry/black plum, graphite, crushed rock, tobacco, nice long mouth feel with just a little tannin at the end to still be resolved.

Feb 3rd, 2019Smells of slight bell peppers, mushroom, some spice
Very Smooth, dark fruits. Very enjoyable 9.3. Bell peppers but not Strong and mushroom taste. Well integrated.

2010 Bryant Family Bettina - Much more approachable than Bryant, softer mouthful as its a blend with Cab, Merlot, Petite Verdot, Cab Franc ... Love the full bodied jammy, coffee and berry flavors. Nose is incredible. Softer tannins than Bryant. 2010 is singing and should be for awhile.
