Drank out of magnum. no decant. breathed for an hour and improved over the next few hours. Enjoyed with basalmic glazed shortrib. Deep ruby color. Classic Napa cab nose. Good mouthfeel. Not too fruit forward. Well-rounded and enjoyable. Drink up if you have any left as this seems towards end of drinking window.

Fruit forward. Mostly dark fruit, hints of jam. Good finish. Very mild tannins remain. Starting to show some age in the color. Probably a bit past its prime, but still drinks nicely.

taking on a more mature color with some brick red showing through. the tannins have softened revolving a more elegant, refined profile. still plenty of red fruit and pepper with cocoa but the edges have softened. enjoyed by all at dinner with friends.

decanted for about an hour. had all the makings of a nice cab with a nice nose of dark fruit, a hint of cocoa, some spice and herbal elements. however, the palate was a bit thin in the middle and there was a tart/bitter note on the back end that was really unappetizing.
