Enjoying tonight. Very good but not their best. No decant....a little tight up front but better after 30 minutes in the bottle. Great legs, nice fruit, good long finish.....a hint of terrior in the backgrround too....solid 90 pts if not a smidge higher.

Textbook Napa Cab. Not giving quite as much as hoped. Erred on the side of elegance. But very nice.

Deep, dark ruby
Barnyard/Earthy
Bit of H2S? Meaty.
Balanced mouthfeel, tannin has definitely been obscured by Brett. Super round, soft. Cuddly.

Decanted for several hours before drinking. This wine was exquisite. Nicely balanced.

As a fruit bomb lover, this has lost a little of its fruit flavor. Good balance though and enjoyed the bottle.
