  Similar to last tasting, still tight, a little thin, short finish. Might still come around with time.

  Dark and dense red color. Musty warm fruit aromas. Chalky red fruit flavors with a warm juicy finish.

  Wow, I retract my last score of 92. This seemed unexciting, short finish, never really opened up. Young?

  1½ hour decant so far. Black fruits, bell pepper, and licorice aromas. On the palate, black cherries and vanilla, with loads of licorice on the finish. Very fresh with soft, but still noticeable, tannins. Although the tannins dissolve and soften on the finish. The 14.5% ABV doesn't really come through. This is a pleasant enough Cali Cab but definitely on the lighter side and not in your face. I like this a lot, but it's hard to score this above 89. And, given the $36 price point, no QPR. Doesn't seem like there is room for improvement, so drinking in the near term seems wise.
