This is big, tannic, and young. I would love to see this in ten years. Nose is so damn dusty. Massive, immutable, axiomatic, impossible-to-ignore eucalyptus and mint. Overwhelming tannin. Cooling menthol effect. Humming acid. With the acid on the side of the tongue, an automotive note like petroleum or rubber. Dusty, sun baked raisin. Chalky texture. Gorgeous old world style California wine, before over extraction took over.

Steak night & wedding planning with Lucas & David. This wine was amazing - can't imagine if we had given it a few more years.....

Found this gem buried in the wine cellar. It’s true things get better with age.

Nice blend. Plum with blue and blackberry notes with hints of graphite. A little gripping out of the bottle but opened nicely.

Good nose with a flavor that matches. Dark, earthy, full bodied and smooth. Very good.
