Super delicious! Paired with prime rib. Decanted about an hour. Drinking flawlessly. Cherry and black fruits on the nose and initial taste. Long finish with super soft tannins. Our last ‘14, unfortunately.

Medium plus nose shows blackberry, black plum, cassis, baking spice, coffee grounds, fresh herbal tones. Palate gives extremely tasty and layered fruit, black fruits abound, blue tone, sweet herbs, chocolate/mocha, coffee. Second taste gives big structure, medium plus tannins show youth, high alcohol, but flavors continue through the finish. Needs time to be truly enjoyed, made to be a collector's wine. Liked it better than their 2014 Aida Cab.

Very Rich and Concentrated. Velet comes to mind. Acidity is well integrated as well.

Wine is at its peak. Layers of blackberries still protected by medium tannins. Flavors include licorice and toasty oak. Long finish.

Driving great. Lots of fruit and after sitting for an hour it mellowed. Big delicious wine. Salt my last of these.
