  This has aged beautifully. Decanted over cocktails and drank over two hours. Silky tannins. It evolved nicely, starting with gentle balance and putting on weight over dinner. A little of that gorgeous To-Kalon fruit was left and the finish was very long throughout, picking up notes of chocolate and leather over time. I would be curious to compare this with how it drank in its youth but it's drinking very well now and I don't imagine it will get any better.

  Finesse style of Cabernet Sauvignon, with a floral, black cherry, smoke, licorice and cocoa character. There is no reason to age this supple wine any longer.

  One of the last Schraders that I have that have a wax capsule. I hate wines with wax capsules.
  Decanted for 2 hours. Started out a little tight and acidic. Smoothed ut with time. Still very young. Dark ruby color, no bricking at the edges.
  Not an overly powerful wine, but built with elegance.
  The nose starts with black currant, loads of spice, cedar, flowers and blueberries. Dense and concentrated on the palate. Starts with black current, blueberry, anise, spice and vanilla. The tannins have softened and smooth, leading to a long finish. Drinking really well now. I don't know that it will improve with time, but will easily hold for years.

  Taste from nice guest at Farmhouse EV.
  Gorgeous Schrader elegance and styling.
  Loads of spice, fresh new leather, dirt road and dark black cherries.
  The palate is gorgeous and shows enormous amount of extraction.
  So big yet still caressing and in harmony. Limited notes but so so tasty.
