Tight and angular. Dark black fruits, tar, gravel, leather, baking spice. Vanilla toasted oak. Nowhere near ready to drink IMO.

Dark brooding purple. Slight rim variation. Plush and round, tannins are soft, fruit and alcohol beautifully integrated. Gobs of black and blue berries, creme cassis, tobacco leaf, top soil, toasted almond vanilla creme. Finish is long and awesome.

Just like the other one; Big, complex and well structured. Nice finish!

A very nice well balanced cab. Nice nose, great color with nice complexity and tannin structure. I would suggest that the drinking dates are off on this and it would still benefit from some time in the bottle.

Drinking good, just like the ones the last few days. Just stored the remaining 3 and will get back after it in Jan.

A Big very complex cab, lots of layers of tannis and great nose, color and finish. I am sure the drinking dates are wrong on this wine. But drinking nicely anyway!! Enjoy!

Big, Dark and very complex with great stucture. I didn't get the sense at all that this is near the end of its drinking range. But enjoyed it very much. Now that I look at it the drinking range must be wrong 2017 - 2015

Fruit-heavy at this point. Opaque purple in the glass. Tremendous viscosity. Full-bodied with a juicy texture. Paired well with NY Strip.
