90 Points

Monday, September 11, 2023 - The wine is dark purple in the glass, and on P&P the nose showed modest blue fruit aromas with leather, chocolate, and dank antique store notes. On the palate the flavors were reticent on entry, slowly showing mild, dark red fruit.

After an hour the wine opened a bit, but just on the palate. We found blackberry, a bit of dark cherry, spice, and wood. Mild tannins and mild acidity. FWIW, the wine failed to open much more, even after three hours.

Pretty and elegant. A contrast to the big cabernets we enjoyed on our visit to Napa last week!
