Huge. A baby. 10 years of life left. Fantastic. If you open now, don't even touch for 90 minutes after pulling the cork.

This wine possesses the Mondavi balance of fruit and tannin. Full bodied and wonderful after 1.5 hours decant.

With air, this really blossomed into a nice Cab. Tannins smoothed out.

As expected it is a full bodied Oakville that tastes good after about 4-6 years of cellaring. It's got all the right ingredients, it just that everyone isn't friendly inside the bottle yet. 😎🍷👍🏽

Tasted blind this blew me away!

The pedigree and price point may not justify the rating but I will always call it as I see it and just loved it!

Showing plenty of expensive French oak on the nose, intense black fruits and just great overall balance my only complaint would be a bit of "muddling" towards the finish.
I like to think this is simply just too young at the moment and will truly blossom in 3+ years.

A great surprise!!

Dark purple deep core.. Black rip fruit, slightly under ripe but still delicious... Very restrained but I like you for that.. Less dusty fruit on the nose with less oak influence

The Finnish on this wine is long and satisfying as the balance of the Oakville is outstanding and flavor of cassis black Fruits cloves, new oak vanilla and more is wonderful

Massive, sophisticated, suave. Fruit still there. 7-10 years of life left.
