1 hour decant. Unlike prior bottle drunk last year, this felt like it needed more time. Tannins we’re just starting to mellow but fruit still shone though. A very well crafted wine that I suspect would have been even better in a few years. Sadly this was last bottle.

This fresh and integrated Cabernet blend is drinking well right now, especially after an hour or two of air. Cherry red in color, medium in body, aromas of blackberry, herbs, and freshly-ground pepper. Tastes of black cherry, bay leaf, and baking spices, with a bright and lifted finish (read: acidic, but not bitingly so). Blend of 70.53% Cabernet Sauvignon and 29.47% Cabernet Franc. 14.7% alcohol. This is my favorite of the Experiment wines to date. Drink in new few years.

3 hour decant. Soft tannins, still primary flavors, full big bodied wine but not over the top. Very very good!

WOTN. Quick decant. No formal notes- just tasted really good. Drink now or hold.
