Young but focused. Great with short rib and ribeye.

Paso powerhouse. Rich and lively on this young pup. Deep black Cherry and cassis, with some vanilla. Long luscious mouthfeel, but tannins show their face. Time will be it’s friend.

Extremely dense with dark berries and tobacco. Really enjoyable ripe nose and mid palate. These wines tend to be high alcohol, 15+, and with time and air one notices it’s fraying on the edges — I’ve held this one too long.

Jan 16th, 2021Similar to and better than the 2006 with more notable Syrah component reflected in smoky peppery notes.

Just not me anymore. Thick as tar.

Apr 11th, 2020Thick and lush. Generally not my inclination, but loving it today. The syrah adds a nice peppery back note after the focused fruit and tobaccy up front. Really nice.

Really nice nose. Crushed violet and touch of herbs. On the palate, this is dense. More classic/elegant on opening. Not lush sweet, but lots of dark fresh fruit that give a sense of lushness (not jammy or stewed). Wet rock/minerals/graphite. Drying tannins on the end, which allows the fruit to jump out in the mid palate. Got a lit bit of savory, which now makes sense now that i see there is some syrah in it. 98 points parker
Update: didnt take as much air time as i thought. We took the last glass home and it was very nice. So a short decant is probably fine
