Large nose of black cherry and oak, vanilla. Softened and slightly chalky tannins, beautifully balanced. Great mouthfeel, ripe but not overpowering dark red and black fruit, slight camphor, pencil shavings, wet stone. Very very nice. Medium + finish. Drinking wonderfully now. — 2 months ago
Unbelievably alive with dark red and black fruit, pepper, baking spices, vanilla, cedar and a lovely overall balance! In the glass I it smells like Christmas… — 3 months ago

This wine had great depth.
Decanted for 2-3 hours and this wine was excellent — 7 months ago
Decanted 45 min though think it needs more time, very young wine. Very aromatic fruit when opening the bottle. Dark red fruit - black cherry and plum, raspberry; chocolate, coffee, graphite, pepper, plush tannins, well integrated acidity, high ABV but hides it well. Medium finish. Will be interesting to see this evolve over next few years in the cellar. — 6 years ago

…now this is some inky grape goodness in a bottle. Tastes like a Lynch Bages combined with a $300 Napa Cab…. Haven’t had a bottle this good since Scarecrow…. — 6 months ago
Revisiting this after 3 years. Much more approachable. PNP for sure but develops nicely with air time. Fruit is ripe and sweet, red and black, tannins have softened, structure is solid. Nice mouthfeel, slightly chalky. Black cherry, oak, vanilla, black licorice. Smooth finish. — 23 days ago
Had to get off this frustrating app for a month. Looks like it might be working, so let's see how long this takes to post
1 hour decant(decent sediment). A wondrous dark magenta with bricking. On the nose: Captivating notes of dark fruit, leather, nutmeg, cinnamon, herbaceous, vanilla toast. Taste: velvety, rich wine with dark cherry/plum, potting soil, crushed stone, spice, licorice, and a chocolate espresso long finish. YUM! — 3 months ago

First bottle of the 2018s. After 30 min decant, still very tight. I’m betting this vintage needs more time. Will let it sit and update. — 6 days ago
