Thought this was outstanding and just a couple pieces short of perfect from what I desire in a quality cab. Pop and pour, and the first sip was the best. The dark fruits are in a great place--still some freshness, but showing complexity with age. Hickory, vanilla, caramel. As it opened, it became more tannic and tightened up a bit. By the end of the bottle, my cheeks and tongue were raw. However, due to the perfect maturity of the fruit, this really shouldn't sit much longer. Probably a 3-4 hour decant would be the best approach here.
