Saturday, September 16, 2017 - Uncorked but not decanted, allowed to rest for three hours. Unctuous right out of the bottle, but after 3 hrs of air this opened and softened into a dramatic, delicate wine with extensive layering.
Dark black fruit on the nose with hints of blueberry, Spicebox, vanilla flavored tobacco and cedar.
Just an exceptional flavor profile; an extraordinary balance of medium+ weighted fruit and Tanic structure. Dry tannins in the background provide multiple layers of depth, structure, and flavor. Unextraordinary wine with the airtime allowed. Long life remains ahead of this, this is what separates Shafer from the rest of the Call-cab pack. BRAVO!!
