A bit too sweet initially. After an hour it begins opening up. Two hours in the sweet fruit is matched by a tasty complement of sweet herb notes. Drank well for 5+ hours, never betraying the high 15.5% ABV. Could use more acid overall.

Wonderful nose of fruit that would make one think this was a Cali Cab, but the lightness reflected a fresher palate with a long finish. Ready today and for another 10+.

My best of 3 bottles thus far. Drinking beautifully and well integrated. Decanted for 30 minutes and was ready to go.

Don't think of drinking before 5 hours decant. Initially alcoholic, blossoms into a very nice medium weight cndp

Disappointingly alcoholic finish ruins it for me.
