Thursday, January 14, 2016 - Decanted for 30mins…could use a few hours, but I was thirsty! This is a GORGEOUS Pride Mtn! Inky blackberry color…incredible nose of mocha truffles, liqueured berries, licorice, tobacco, creme de cassis. Mouthful of silky smooth goooooodness! Rich and extracted, but not too sweet…..the perfect amount of ripe Calif fruit, with complexities of warm chocolate brownies, dried tobacco, tarragon, double espresso, tar……..the rich fruit is balanced super well, keeping the sweetness at a level I like in these big cabs….graphite powder, spicy cedar woods tannins….giving a good grip and dryness. Plenty of stuffing and solid structure here for many decades of pleasure….the hard part is not having enough!
