  A full-bodied and powerful Cab. Very potent alcohol and tannins level. After a reasonable amount of time decanting, the aroma of dark berries and fresh pine come out. Definitely a good wine with long lasting flavors; but it needs ample decanting.

  Full bodied, dense aroma on the nose and equally dense taste on the palate. Should be drank with red meat heavy and cheese heavy food.

  Wasn’t drinking well nor did it taste like the other bottle in the same vintage. Off time or something was wrong

  Decanted 60 minutes - outstanding wine and aging really well. Cherry is the core flavor, but definitely not a fruit bomb - this is well integrated. Subtle toasted spices. Texture is very nice - not as chewy as the QC12 and some of the other vintages. The finish was the most impressive part - wonderful 30 second long finish.

  One of the first bottles we bought for our cellar and our first QC purchased back in 2016. This wine drinks like a 5yo bottle. If you open it now, give it 60 minutes of air. Tannins are smooth and well integrated. Nose of black cherry, graphite and you can still smell the oak, a bit of dusty dry barn wood. Full bodied, long finish. This is built to hold and could easily go another 10-15 years.
