2014, very heavy handed fruit was bigger than expected and was hiding the nuances of th dusty bakers chocolate that one can pick up from To kalon. Powerful wine which many will enjoy for what worth.

An elegant, full-body Cabernet that paired perfectly with an incredible Tomahawk steak. The perfect bottle to celebrate our anniversary! RP gave this 99 points in 2016 and I think it deserves 100 points today. Thanks for recommending this @Billy L. , it was such a great tasting at Cliff Lede. I am lucky to have you as my sommelier!

PNP, much more evolved since my last visit with this wine; after 20 minutes in the glass wine was singing & rock In’ 🎼🎸! Classic Oakville To Kalon notes, loamy, deeply concentrated dark black & blue fruits. Winemaker-Chris Tynan hits a home run here! Cheers!πŸ‡πŸ·πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Very heavy tannins but fruit breaks through beautifully, too. Incredible nose of red fruit and spice. 45 second finish. Will be spectacular as tannins settle.

Seems only appropriate for President’s Day to try out one of the Trump wines won off of MacMillan. Decanted and let sit for 4 hours, but still just a baby. A big fat magnificent baby.
