Cabin Weekend XVI; 3/4/2016-3/5/2016: This bottle was in a dumb phase; fruit never fully expressive, which allowed weedy-green tannins to overwhelm the palate. Thankfully there were hints of fresh blue/black berry and plum flavors and complementary coffee edges, but this clearly needs more time. Drink 2018-28

Not decanted. Insanely dense, aggressive, and packed with flavor, deep black fruit, smoke, licorice, graphite, topsoil. Needs bottle age, but this is going to be great. Drink 2018-28.

Dry and bold. Long finish. Better after 1 to 2 hours

Dark and dense, with both fruit and herbs on the palate. A wine that should please both new world and old world fans. Lovely wine.
