Happy Cab Sauv day! Celebrated with this special bottle. Decanted for 15-20 mins. Faded dark ruby red in the center, gorgeous orange hue on the rim. Medium viscosity. On the nose, surprisingly still got tones of ripe fruit - very ripe strawberries, cassis and dried cherries. Dried rose petals, violets, then chocolate, all spice, tobacco and gravel. This wine is showing beautifully and it’s right at the edge of its drinking window if not couple years past it. Medium/medium minus Acidity, silky integrated tannins and medium alcohol are all in delicate balance and still picking up dried flower tones on the long stony finish, which wants you to go back and take another sip!
