  Part of a WA State wine night with my group. All the reds were from 2010 to 2013. This was one of three wines from the Champoux vineyard. It was the only 100% Cabernet Sauvignon of the night, and its was opened, but not decanted for at least 90 minutes before pouring. Great nose, dark color, and I think it has improved in the 4 years since my last bottle. I'm leaving the score the same, because of the 3 Champoux bottles at the dinner this was the "least" favorite. Still, very enjoyable and I think it still has years of life ahead of it.

  Decanted two hours. 100% CS (not a blend) on 83% new French and American oak. Out-front bright fruit of black currant and blackberry followed by the usual suspects; voluptuous texture with a seductive finish. Plenty of acidity and tannins for it's trip into the future. If I had another bottle, and I don't, would be happy to hold thru 2025.

  Just starting to show signs of browning
  
  Restrained tannins and acidity under dark red berries. Can only go downhill from here

  (Mostly) Washington State Wine Night: Part of a Washington State red wine night. Very enjoyable, but not quite as good as the other wines. Probably has years of life ahead of it.

  Ready, but still took an hour to unclench. Will drink the last one soon.
  
  5/8/2016 Note: Not quite ready, IMO. Tannins need more time to integrate. 2017 or even 2018 for the next of 3 left. 90 pts.
