just fantastic, what can I say -- silky-smooth, understated tannins and very enjoyable -- can't test out the second day hypothesis because we drank it all tonight ... will buy again if I see it on sale

all I can say is wow -- we loved this wine -- soft and plush, maybe the smoothest cab we've had - very complex in flavors and hugely enjoyable. -- 2nd night -- not as enjoyable -- much harsher and more tannic, I would have described it a as completely different wine -- even with a full hour decant. Still have one more bottle of this, will see if the same thing happens.

Color: Garnet
Nose: Blackberry, licorice, leather, a little musty.
Palate: Smooth and velvety. Beautiful depth. Cassis and leather. Deep red fruit. Amazingly balanced.
Body: Medium to full
Finish: Smooth, with fairly medium tannins.
Tannins appear with a ribeye. Light without food.

Needs more time. Very brash with pop and pour.
