Dam Good, had it at press, a little dusty, spice, and velvety smooth. Could do it justice with more age. On the nose is the same with dust and intense cassis. Mouthfeel was a little acidic but provided ample amounts of structure and minute tannins. Drink 2027 max.

3 days opened and still not fading. This wine has years of bottle age potential. Enjoy in 2030...... keep patient as this wine has plenty of gusto to improve.

Opened perhaps too young but wow was this great. A very well produced modern Napa Cab. Nose starts with sulpher & charcoal and finishes just slightly floral. In mouth the wine is like a left bank Bordeaux. I get black currants, mulberry, lead pencil, & some oak. Tremendous fruit with a well balanced tannic body. Acidity is present alluding to the long life this puppy has ahead.
CT Folks ..... this is the real deal of a wine and one that rivals the best out there at this price point.

I had this 5 years before I intended but I wasn’t disappointed. Decanted a mere hour before consumption. Mini vertical with the 2016 Poetry. The ‘17 was hands down the better bottle. Surprising too given the vintage and the fact the ‘17 had higher alcohol content. ‘16 packed a lot of heat and started to simmer down a few hours into the evening. The ‘17 was more nuanced, elegant and enjoyed a long finish.

Far too young. Won’t be touching my other bottles for 5 years or more.
