Perfect accompaniment to prime rib for Xmas dinner. Very likely in prime drinking window. Decanted out of a mag for 3hrs before serving. Dare I say this was somewhat restrained for a Hundred Acre: thinner mouthfeel, less fruit forward and more leather and minerality on back end. Still lush and long, but as much the dominant characteristic. Nice change of pace.

Popped and poured, then decanter. Wonderful. Elegant nose of black fruit and earth. Flavors of black cherry, toffee, mocha, very subtle green note. Silky smooth mouth feel mid- to full-bodied. Excellent balance and integration. Nice sweet spot between subtlety and power. Highly recommend.

Equal to BEST wine ever drank. Even after being wined out drinking/tasting over 20 high quality Napa Cabs - kept coming back to F&FB and tasted great - Good linerarity even though round - Finish was as long or longer than any wine. Velvet and Smooth.

Decanted an hour. Nice cassis, smooth good fruit. Tannins resolved pretty much. Drinking very nice no reason to hold as think fruit will fade

Opened in the bottle for a few hours. Good but slightly artificial. Sweet cherry, cedar, tobacco…. Drink now. Really tough one for the price.
