Impressionist notes from memory from last night. From a 375. Decanted one hour. Nose had graphite, dark cassis, cedar, intense gravelly notes. Tannic and obviously way too young, the palate was rich without heaviness, and at the tail end of the long finish there was note of the purest cassis that lingered. Come back in 10. — 4 years ago

This is the ultimate red wine!! 😍 You taste the fruit as soon as it hits your tongue. Has a smooth finish. This definitely is a mislabel because their is no end to the hope in this bottle. #Perfect10 — 8 years ago

Toward the end of its life, light on flavor, but still phenomenal — 5 years ago
2013 vintage. Vibrant ruby color, med bodied, soft mouthfeel & tannins. Bright cherry, cola, plum, strawberry, vanilla notes. Nice lasting finish. — 6 years ago
This vintage is showing better as time passes. Could this end up aging better than 2002 which was more highly acclaimed? I liked this a little better than the last 2002 that I had. — 7 years ago
All the classic graphite, iodine, cassis and green pepper (perhaps a little overwhelmingly so) on the nose. Palate of INTENSE pepper (dare I say Serrano)…but overall light and enjoyable. Lacking some bottom end that may evolve in time? Still feels VERY young. A great 7th anniversary wine. Truth be told, slightly disappointing, though only had a one hour decant… — 4 years ago

What a great cab; structured yet fruity; minimum tanins in the back end; loved it — 8 years ago

Astounding- but like a rich Rioja, fruity and well balanced, soft tannins. — 3 years ago
