Filtered and decanted for about 30 min, drank over about 90 min, served with ribeye steaks. This was excellent- other descriptions of "balanced" and "harmonious" are spot on. Blackberry, dark fruit, hint of cassis, then touch of bitter dark chocolate, maybe a little graphite, very soft/minimal tannins, medium-long finish. A well-aged cabernet, fruit is fading a little so definitely time to drink, but still excellent.

Really liked this wine. Best description is 'balance' and 'harmony'. The wine is in a beautiful place right now and drinking very well. Smooth and supple with some aged 'funk' to the wine. A real winner.

I liked, didn’t love, rest of table so so. Heitz has its devotees, its unique, I think you love it or don’t.

Still going strong in October 2021. The fruit has dried and tannins have softened but they come together in a beautiful and balanced structure.
