Tremendous wine! Big, bold , Luscious, velvety tannins. Great acid balance. Enjoy this one with steak.

Tight with a good core but too young to drink now.

Great dark blackberry and a touch of licorice. Tannins have dropped off quite a bit still a little age ability left.

2005 vintage. Good fill and cork. Decanted with the requisite amount of chunky sed this producer throws for their aged cabs. Tasted after 30 mins. A little hot. Tasted nuts. Saline. Baking chocolate. Medium/medium-heavy body. Excellent color and intensity. Lean flavors yet bigger body than you taste through/past. 12 more years at this level-easy. Not improving but no rush. 6.14.24.
