Dark gold color. Slightly past prime. Needs 20 minutes of air. Pears, popcorn, cream, and nuts on the nose. Same on the palate with some vanilla and coconut. Super deep wine with a long finish. I love aged Napa Chard!! — 5 days ago

Needs more age and was served too cold. Still great, but not as good as it should be. — 13 days ago

1hr+ decant. Dark red almost purple color. Still young. Extremely complex as my list of adjectives kept going and is too long to list. Kind of watery on the palate, so lacked depth. Good flavor. — 6 days ago

1hr+ decant. Lovely dark red color with purple rim. Complex nose and wine filled with pencil shavings, cedar, well integrated oak, blue and black fruit, and anise. Great depth and just overall well made. — 20 days ago
