Dark fruit berry nose. Palate is black Raspberry blackberry dark fruit concentrated feel, chocolate, sweet Leather licorice spices and mouth coating feeling amazing long finish. What a wine.
Last note for this wine since I’ve already reviewed it enough especially at this youthful stage. So good - amazing what a month has done. Dark ruby fruit - currants, blackberry, dark cherry, and dark raspberry. Really smooth with a nice purity and solid depth/concentration. Nice vibrant/rich flavors of cassis, baking spices/licorice, cocoa, and a little graphite component. Fairly long finish. Popped/poured but drank out of a decanter for a couple hours. Improved a little with time. Sounds crazy in light of its youth but I don’t see how this wine gets much better with more time. 95/96. 100% cab.

This wine is a hedonistically delicious, Cab that delivers a high degree of gratification. A delight to drink and in an amazingly nice place to be so young.
Decanted for a couple hours but it was a little tannic/acidic with the finish so put most of it away for day two. Big improvement on day two as it softened/opened-up more especially with the finish. I’m inclined to give this vintage another six months before revisiting. Again, no surprise of the 94 to 96 rating from WA. 95 on day two. 100% cab.

Didnt show quite as well as last few bottles of these. Perhaps entering a dumb phase? Time will tell.
