12yr Anniversary Dinner! PnP. Dark purple color. Blackberries, Dark cherries, anise, and subtle tar on the nose and palate. Medium plus depth. Finish was lacking. I enjoyed it.

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Nose is dominated by wet forest floor or a musty basement. Blackberries, plum, and damp herbs on the palate. Medium depth with a shortish finish.

This was awesome! PnP’d. Very balanced wine. Medium plus depth. Integrated dark blue and black fruit with oak, vanilla, and cedar. Somewhat similar to Pontet Canet. Lovely silky texture and medium plus finish. Exactly how Napa Cab should taste!

Big, concentrated wine. Lots of oak and vanilla combined with blue and black fruit. Very deep but needs age to settle down.
