Decanted 2 hours. Notes of cherry, black raspberry, plum with hint of spice and earth. Good mouthfeel and tannins were well integrated. An excellent cab.

Pop and Pour from a Magnum. Expressive nose redolent of bright fruit which coat the palate. Absolutely delicious and would merit a few more points except that there just is simply a bit of a hollow finish with mild tannin. What's there is very ripe and sweet - I just wish there were a bit more. Nonetheless, a wonderful wine.

Double decanted for 2.5 hrs, deep ruby, dark fruit on the nose, black cherry on the palate & the PV was less noticeable, med/firm tannins, long finish; outstanding, drink or hold, no rush. The 18% PV fooled people at our BB tasting last night

My last bottle. A short 1 hr decant. This one held up well. Dense and concentrated with distinct licorice notes and chewy tannins. A lot of heat on the nose.

Consistent with past notes but this bottle not as well maintained as prior bottles.
