Night 1 - PnP. Very thin and acidic with no fruit and non-existent finish. Only drank 1/2 glass. Corked bottle to revisit next day hoping for improvement. If ranking on night 1, would have given a 78.
Night 2 - Definitely better than night 1. Fleshed out some although no complexity and the finish is very short. Some eucalyptus and cassis on the palate.
Drink up - don't think this is getting any better. Not a great experience for my first Cadence after reading so many great things about them. I think this wine is past its prime. Will try some other wines and hope for better.

Was very excited to try this as I have always heard great things about Cadence wines but this wine is on the downhill slide as the fruit is almost non existent. All of the other elements of a good wine are present, hope my remaining bottles are better. Drink now!

Medium ruby, lighter in color than I anticipated. Cherry and baking spices on the nose. Notes of cherry, plum, baking spices and hints of vanilla, cedar, leather and brine. Agree with prior tasters that this needs a modest decant or a bit of time in the glass to open up. Very nice.

Might be on the downhill side but drinking welll. Definitely improved with decanting. Also should decant carefully as it has some fine sediment.

On the lean side, very little overt fruit. Needs some decanting to show what it has.
