  Stags leap CAB at its best! Fantastic wine hitting all the boxes now and maybe some room to grow.
  
  Opened for 90 min and decanted for 10. Great nose of berry and some musty earth. Big on the front with some chewy ness, tannins still present but softening, nice velvet smooth texture on the back end with good finish.
  Complex enough to find different flavors throughout the bottle. I had blackberry's and a bit of cooked plums and then later I had distinctly green pepper and even some watermelon. Super enjoyable and complicated for this amateur to describe.
  I think this will continue to age well, although I can’t imagine how much better it could get!!

  Still very early. This needs 3-5 more years of sleep. Very closed down. Big chewy currant. Big tannins. Good potential if you have bottles.

  Plenty of depth and structure here. Still young with a moderate amount of tannins. I suspect it's closed off in some areas. Nonetheless it has a fragrant nose and silky smooth mouthfeel. Restrained flavors of kalamata olive brine, smoked meat, black fruit, menthol, and anise emerge. Much more elegant than expected. Give it another 2 years or be prepared to decant a least 5 hours.

  This is darn good wine and at least as good as some 3X the price. The '10s are really promising to be a fine vintage -- some real lively acidity and good fruit, without too much alcohol.
