A nicely aged Red Mountain cab.

Almost like they waited for it to turn, and then it did, the wrong way. A bit disjointed. Nose is fine with both red and dark fruits, and spice. P is a bit tannic, but the least pleasurable Nota I've ever had.

Oaky, heavy, a bit unbalanced. It seems like it has good bones but something is just a wee bit off with this one. Wonder where this will be in 10 years.

Hardly drinkable. Pulled cork on a 2nd bottle to confirm it wasn't bottle variation. I know why it was discounted through Full Pull and am disappointed to see Full Pull offer this, even as a redacted offload.

Bought on a lark from Full Pull. Very pleasant dark fruits after 30 minutes Solid qpr. Wish I had more.

Drinking at the discounted FP price. Decent, but not great. Initial tannins were a little prominent, but relaxed with time and air. Nice pedigree though.

Pretty fun for the deep discounted price we recently acquired this for. I could see this being fantastic with a ribeye. Perhaps ext bottle we open will be with beef and a loaded bake potato.

Sweet, fruit forward with a mineral taste. Better if decanted for 30-60 minutes and with food.
