WOW - had this awhile back and wasn’t really impressed, but now it is a stunner! Big bold burly monster beast of a wine brimming w/red & black fruit dusted w/spice & herbs, loamy & dank and just massive concentration. Huge gripping tannins - much more resolved than previous bottle and finish was smoothed out and lengthy. Go find some!

Needs to air a good amount but is delightful once it is properly aired.

Sawdust. With sawdust. Black and red fruit. Good food wine for sure. Not by itself necessarily.

6/2020. Nice Medium body cab. Smooth and easy to drink. Paired well with the pork tenderloin.

Nothing wrong w/this big bold burly red - fairly intense extraction weight & heft but very young restrained even after over an hour in decanter. Hi-alcohol nose mingled w/red & black spiced fruit, def some wood & vanillin flavors - this has a bunch of different grapes which are not resolved at this time.

So much going on. Oak and vanilla all over. Flavor stays with you.
