Cliff Lede's 2017 To Kalon has put on considerable weight over the past two years: blind, I wouldn't immediately recognize it as the same wine. A core of inner sweetness has revealed itself and overshadowed some of the subtler menthol notes. If that's your jam, drink now with a 2+ hour decant. Personally, I'd like to see where this ends up in another five years; I'd recommend drinking within 10.

smooth opening low tannin. Nice change of pace by not being a bold fruit-forward Napa cab.
