Sunday, March 22, 2020 - 79% Cab. S, 8% Petite Verdot, balance Cab Franc and Malbec. Decanted 1-1/2 hours for a lot of fine sediment. Stand next for a few days, decant slowly Bold, fruity nose on opening. Inky to the center. Blackberry, cedar on the nose. Blackberry and cherry candy. Long oaky, vanilla finish. Nice balance, some tannin, but very ready to drink now. Over time the flavors got more complex and layered, the other varietals making a contribution as well. Very good value (on sale now at New Hampshire liquor stores for around $30.00).
