Classic Justin offering. Solid new world, fruit-forward, dark jam smear with smooth menthol and dusting tannins. A bit of heat on the nose that continues onto the palate and finish. Probably could do with more than an hour decant. Chewy finish concludes an overall good mouth-feel. I thought the ten-year mark would be sufficient- probably right, but would like sip again in another three to five. May always have a soft spot for this producer, will miss this one, it is the last.

Decanted for over an hour. Still drinking well. Glad to share with 4th of July guests. No complaint, no outstanding comments.

Still hanging in there nice. Black fruit, a bit of brick color on the edge. Solid body, tannins have smoothed out. Good cab.
