  Suave and focused. Good fruit, good structure. Should hold for several years.

  Note basically as before, but now shut down somewhat. Only opened 40 minutes before pairing with marinated grilled flank steak. Reticent nose and palate, though still a glass-staining blood red. Will hold for several years before revisiting.

  Glass-decanted 90 minutes before pairing with grilled, seasoned ribeye steaks. A heavily extracted ruby in the glass, with deep coloration all the way out to the near-glass staining rim. A powerful, youthful nose of both red and black fruits, oak and a faint hint of vanilla. Strong, youthful attack on the palate, still very primary, with excellent acidity and a moderately long finish. This wine should have a long future in front of it. Was nice to taste a cabernet made from grapes right behind the fabulous Brix restaurant in Oakville, where we once had an anniversary dinner a few years ago, perhaps in 2008!
