  Still balanced, time to drink it now though. Opened up pretty fast, hint or red and black fruit, oak and tannins with a strong full finish

  Good Tannins and Acid but didn't open up to much of anything over an hour.

  I think the CT brotherhood has this graded dead bang on. Needs room temp and a good 1-2 hours of air. Very tart and thin when first opened. Still very dark in the glass. Fragrant nose of red fruit, camphor and a bit of lavender. Good weighty mouthfeel. Plenty of grippy tannins and oak left with good acidity for a 30-second finish with black and red fruit elements. This improved considerably with air. I can't stress that enough.

  Been sitting on a few of these for a while now. Picked up as library offerings as a wine club member in past years.....PNP after a late night at the office to have with Caesar salad a baked potato with Irish butter and a pan fried ribeye. Chilled at 58 deg, still displayed a nice dark fruit cab nose, strong cassis note with some sage/earthy hues and still a dark garnet in the glass with minimal bricking at the edges......nice entry with red/dark fruit as it warms in the glass, medium weight, mid palate with some acid backbone/cedar and dry tannins still very much in evidence. The fruit falls off a bit in the middle but reappears toward the backend and you are left with a longer tart, acid finish with some black fruit, mocha/espresso notes, and mouth-watering goodness, just not wrapped up into the precise little tight multi-level package that it should be or I'd have given it a 95. It maintains a wonderful nose, however, from start to finish even after an hour in the glass. A nice wine that probably needs to be consumed in the next couple of years.
