Decanted 1 hour. Wasn't sure what to expect given other reviews. Bold, but not over the top Cab. Wonderful aroma and mix of red fruit, pepper and earth. Drinking very well. Really liked this.

The wine is a medium to dark ruby red color. The sexy nose has cassis, cedar, melted licorice, dried herbs, black plums, baking spices, dark chocolate, and some black cherry. This has medium to full body, solid tannins, and very good acidity. The palate has solid dark fruit and spice with some dark chocolate and spicy oak in the background. The finish is long and full of spicy fruit and chocolaty oak. This really needs a couple years in the cellar to strut its stuff, but tastes nice now with several hours of air.

Paired with smoked filets wrapped in bacon. Decanted over 2 hours. Excellent wine. Remaining comments same as July 2017 notes.

Just a little too light on the finish. Otherwise excellent.
