  Did a PnP, but drank slowly. This needs a 1 hr decant to open. A bit muted on the front end, but finishes nice and strong. Time to drink if you got it.

  1 hour decant. Plush with blackberry and black cherry and a hint of coffee. Smooth tannins are well integrated.

  Majority of grapes is Cab Franc, and you can definitely tell.
  Scents and tastes are similar with very much dark berry, and slightly green herb.

  Blackberry and tannic. Dark and Bold. Wished I had waited a few years to open. Will only be better in a few years.

  Wine store tasting pour. Black raspberry and cherries. Balanced , nice complexity, did think it was much better than the Arise.
