On sale and decided to give it a shot in light of the 94+ rating from WA. Dark ruby fruit - currants, blackberry, dark cherry, and some plum. Smooth mid-palate with solid depth/concentration - medium plus body. Nice flavors of cassis, some spice, plum, and a little graphite component. Fairly long finish. Decanted for one hour and drank over a couple more. Improved a little with time. Pretty good but I was hoping for more in consideration of the 94+ rating. 100% cab.

Eye: inky dark purple. Nose: plums, smoky, herbal. Palate: flavors not harmonious, loads of fruit, medium structure, long finish but jammy. Probably needs some more ageing.

Dark purple
On the nose raspberries, cranberry
Tight at first cherry, walnut, and a bit of grapefruit on the palate.
This wine took a while to open. But once it did relax, it was pretty good.

Excellent wine! Perfect age for drinking. Expect it to get even better with time.

Enjoyed a bottle at Wine Bar George on our recent Disney trip. Drank well with my braised short ribs.
