2015 World's End Cabernet Sauvignon Good Times, Bad Times Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard

This is the second bottle of this that I've had and this is showing quite lovely after 45 minutes in a decanter. The color is deep garnet with no signs of age on the edge. It has not shed any sediment at this point. First nose and taste is a bit tight but after 15 minutes in the glass, opens to reveal beautiful black fruit and nice finish with integrated tannins that are virtually unnoticeable. For To Kalon fruit, a bargain at the time and glad I have a few more to try and share. I'll wait another two years for the next one. If you have this, now is the time to give it a go but I'd recommend decanting and tasting through the bottle. Cheers!

Takes about an hour for this to open up at this point. Had with a crab stuffed salmon and the acid profile paired well against the fat of the fish. Now, an hour and a half into it, with no food, it shows nice fruit, solid acid and medium finish. Given the scarcity of QPR burgundy (I paid $29 all in for it), this one far surpasses its friends from California and Oregon in the elegance category. A solid drinker that should be consumed over the next 3-5 years depending on your cellaring conditions.
