Monday, April 11, 2011 - OK...I must be missing something here...I was looking forward to drinking this since it arrived in November 2010. Decanted for 3 hours. First impression was HOT HOT HOT....so much overpowering alc. 3 hours later not much had changed. Had many of the typical Cab characteristics - dark fruit, oak, coffee.....but this was NOT the $50 wine I was expecting based on the rave cellartracker reviews....Would take the Provenance Rutherford for 1/2 the price.
