Decanted a little over an hour and this was drinking great. Maybe a bit thinner than other vintages of Burn Pile (which I blame on the vintage), but still drinking great. No detailed notes as this was consumed a few days ago.

Prob still my WOTN, although I was expecting a little more based on the reviews. Performs well for an "off" vintage. In every way a well done but old world cab. There is a briary, warm toned nose and dense blackberry pie on the palate. I thought it shined after a half hour in the glass and reminded me of St. Jullian.

Dark, full body Alexander Valley Cab. Good structure and balance with classic aromas and flavors of a good well aged cab.
