Deep purple, with a captivating nose of chalky blackberries, plum sauce, and Asian five spice. It just keeps drawing you in. Plenty of good fruit on the palate, not overly dry. Amazing structure with velvety tannins. The amazing finish on this wine lingers for at least a minute. To my taste, this is Cabernet at its finest and probably the best wine I’ve had. I would like to compare it to the Maybach Amoneous as it previously held my favorite all time wine position. I’m saddened that with Realm purchasing Houyi, Modus Operandi will probably not be able to make this fantastic expression of Houyi vineyard. I need to stock up!!! — a year ago

Let it decant for 3 hours. Opened up beautifully and needs more time but wow! A phenomenal cab. Elegant power but great dark fruit with good acidity and just hedonistic. Not overly oaky but just enough. Would love to try other years — 6 days ago
