I have been wanting to try this wine for a very long time and it blew me away. The intensity and richness was incredible and it is an absolute baby. This was a monster (in a good way) and has a very long life ahead of it but even now was showing so well. Thank you @Eric LaMasters for sharing this exceptional wine.

Tight and a bit tannic, but should become a beautiful wine. Had an 18 hour decant before opening slightly

Gorgeous. Big, bold and beautiful. Tons of minerality, with good fruit and great length. Powerful if still a bit primary. This saw 24 hour slow ox, followed by decanting, and only got better over 2+ hours consumption. I plan to hold off awhile on the next one...

This has all the goods for a young wine. Big black cab fruit. Laser focused. Just a baby.

Like it, didn't love it. Raspberry nose but not interesting or complex
