  Much better than my last bottle 18-months ago. Cassis, blueberry, sweet black currant, and cherry cobbler pie on the nose. The palate is full, square, and textured, bringing blackberries, dark cherries, more sweet black currant, dried tobacco, dark chocolate, coffee bean, soy sauce, and wild herbs into the finish, which is dry, thick with tannins, and still resolving. Overall, this has matured into a solid mountain cab. Will probably be best after 2018-19. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Opened and decanted 20-min prior to dinner, then consumed over the following 4+ hours. Dark, cloudy, inky purple color with a violet hue. Very aromatic nose of chocolate raspberries, espresso bean, cherry cobbler, and baking spices. The nose is the best part; the rest, meh. Palate is full, square, thin, and sort of wobbly, bringing cherries, blackberries, streaks of blue fruit, milk chocolate, hints of tobacco, and wild herbs. The finish is limp and uninspiring. Terrible QPR. Drink now - 2020.

  Opened-up after an hour in the decanter. Enjoyable wine with nice dark fruit flavors, but would I echo other comments about expecting more from a wine at this price.
