    Wow, it’s been four years since I last opened one of these. It’s still got a full platter of dark red fruit, along with a meaty streak a mile wide. Throw in a touch more acidity, and I could have been fooled into thinking I was drinking a high end, top vineyard site St. Joseph. Well balanced, so I’m not at all concerned about waiting four more years before I try another.

I finished all of my bottles years ago. An exceptional wine. The 2023 version is also fantastic!

Totally agree. The 2023 is exceptional. Will benefit from more time in the cellar but my god it’s good even today.
