  Decanted over cocktails. Showing beautifully with good acid balance and evenhanded dark Stag's Leap fruit, full on the palate without being overdone. Wonderful. Thanks Steve!

  Much more ready to drink now. Less than an hour of air and it was ready, given that we like our cabs big and burly.

  This wine really reminds me of a first growth Bordeaux. Beginning to wonder if it won’t be hitting its stride for another 10 years? Opened a bottle and decanted for over 4 hours before enjoying at Ocean Prime in Naples alongside a 2007 Staglin (Staglin was sensational!). Showed flashes of brilliance at the beginning of the night but was completely closed by the end of dinner. I know this is going to be a rock star but timing is going to be critical. I will probably not open another bottle for at least 5 years. If you only have one or two bottles, put them at the back of your cellar and forget about them for awhile!

  Same note as before. This wine is massively tannic and structured. Pitch black color with loads of ripe blue/black fruit, vanilla, and cassis. Needs time.
