Past its finest days. An earlier core of currant and roasted herbs still lingers, but now enveloped in customary attributes of age -- prune, leather, butterscotch.

Plum currant hint of dark cocoa. Elegant with tannins that grip slightly. Smooth and rich. Has evolved and is drinking beautifully now. Still many years left.

Kathryn Hall Cabernet Vertical 2008-2020 presented by Kathryn Hall (Joe’s Seafood - Chicago): 97% Cabernet Sauvignon 2% Merlot 1% Petit Verdot 20m, 70% new French oak Extremely polished, but also a little VA to salt it. Light sediment. Wonderfully harmonious aromas. Most complexity of the line-up so far. Modest tannin. Freshness. Fruit of the aromas, doesn’t entirely follow to the palate.

Double decanted - but only for 1 hour. Deep currant and plum notes with an overlay of red fruit. In general, Consistent with notes of 8/17/2018 but even more fleshed out.

Black fruit, licorice, complex flavors, tannins are a little harsh. Long finish. Hold a few more years.
