Sweet red fruits on the nose. Tannic wine with spicy flavors , heat from the alcohol , sweeter red an dark fruits , drying on the palate. Begs for food.
Aired the wind out for over 2 hours this time before drinking it. This is tasting a bit diff from my last bottle from several days ago.

OK if overpriced. Definitely needs time to air. Day 1 despite being opened (but not decanted) well in advance of drinking it was pretty generic Napa Cab - lots of black fruit and vanilla, large ish but, but not super long, although maybe a little more acid than usual. Day 2 the fruits had softened and were complemented by more interesting charcoal and menthol.

Fruit notes on the nose. Tannins are there but not very robust. They are semi mouth drying but the fruit keeps in somewhat in check. I get dark fruits an red fruits on the nose an the palate an the wine is pretty balanced. A great showing in my opinion. I gave the wine a few hours Of air in the bottle before tasting.

ok. Second bottle opened, and I am really impressed with this wine. This vintage has taken some heat, and this wine is a good wine to drink now to the next few year. Med tannins. nice red fruit, mix with some earthy soil. Try this one over a 2-4 hour period. when it first opens up, it's not ready to drink. a bit of old mushrooms. after a bit , it begins to change, and becomes very approachable.

THis wine is approachable for how young it is. Only 13.9% alc. which is nice to enjoy. Decant for at least an hour. Cheers
