Very primary. Loads of cassis, oak spice, vanilla, graham cracker and pipe tobacco. Some resinous herb quality on the nose. High alcohol and heavy oak are on full display.

1hr plus decant. Inky, purple color. Nose has oak, vanilla, blackberries, and tar on it. Very classic Napa Cab. Wine is medium plus depth but the alcohol is a little over bearing. After a glass or two it gets too hot and overwhelms the fruit and oak. Was very nice to start but my appeal faded as green elements began to appear. Definitely would benefit from more aging.

Oct 30th, 2017Big fruit and berries on the nose with a bit of tar and cedar spicy sweetness on the taste. Over the top complex and integrated, just loaded with a long finish.
