May 16, 2021 - A fine 9 year old Napa cab. Smooth. Understated. Balanced.

November 21, 2020 - Dark, opaque, indigo in color. Dark cherry, blackberry, coffee, anise and nutmeg on the palate. Bold and fruit forward, full bodied with grippy tannins. Medium finish. This improves significantly with a 4 hour decant. Although this is certainly within the drinking window, significant air is needed to tame the tannins. Really nice with a mushroom covered tenderloin.

November 14, 2020 - Definite improvement over our prior bottle four years ago. More ready to drink without significant air. Big and bold, typical Diamond Mountain characteristics. Still early in its life.
