Drinking nicely here with about 20-30 minutes in the glass. Menthol, schist and purple fruit dominate the nose at first but menthol backs off and the fruit darkens with air, which best belies the palate at about 30 minutes or more. Delicious.

Ripe fruit and spices on the nose, followed by black currants, licorice, oaky tannins, and a little menthol in the finish. This has years of good drinking ahead of it and may even improve as the tannins integrate further.

Decanted 90 minutes. Gorgeous Rutherford Cab made in the classic style by Mike Smith. On the palate, savory blackcurrant, licorice, light oak. This has depth and broad shoulders and should evolve nicely for years to come.

Drinking well. Maybe a 91.5. Pleasant, smooth, fruit doesn't reach out and grab you. Pairs well with food.
