  Set upright for several hours (been cellared for 5 years), then decanted. Nose was very closed and a quick taste warranted letting breath for awhile. 1-2 hours later, had opened up wonderfully. These wines always seem to perfectly hit a balance between fruit and dry. Flavor continues to arise even after swallowing.

  Decanted and let rest for more than an hour. Wine was robust with mouth filling fruit. Glad I still have a few bottles on the shelf to see how this wine continues to age.

  Have not opened one of these in awhile. This wine can go several more years in the bottle. Loads of fruit in the mouth. This will be interesting to watch...

  Solid cab, medium bodied, slightly fruit forward, was not as big as other Lewelling cabs, peaking now and I do not sense it has the structure to improve significantly with time. Drink now. -S
