  Popped and poured, and what a "show-off" right from the get-go. I'll finish this later, but too excited not to note a few first impressions. Those are: blue fruit; extremely thick, rich, concentrated; cocoa nibs; menthol; huge; lasting; ripe but not too ripe; long distance runner that won't disappoint those who prefer primary fruit at its best. After this has had some air, we'll see how it evolves. For now, I'd say this was a great buy at roughly $140 when it was first released.
  
  24 hours later, after sitting in the bottle in the cellar: still very, very primary and mostly about oodles and oodles of powerful blue-black fruit with rich charcoal, just a huge, huge powermonger of a wine. WOW. After ten years, it is incredibly young. A forty-year Cab? Wouldn't surprise me. 5-13-18-9: 95/100.

  Wow! Hidden gem. Decanted for an hr+ and this wine delivered. Good fruit, lively acidity, long finish, pretty damn good. Drink or Hold.

  Outstanding Cabernet. Dark ruby color. Full bodied. Dark fruit flavors, boysenberry and chocolate. Silky tannins. Long finish. My rating is conservative.

  Nice floral nose, dark fruits with mouth coating soft tannins, medium-full body, and long caressing finish

  Our bottle was a bit strange. Opened up 2 hours before drinking. The nose was not right. Had a "wet newspaper" smell, however the flavor of the wine was great. The funky nose never went away. Would have scored it higher, but couldn't get over the smell.
