Decanted 4 hours.....really soft at that point. Fully integrated and smooth. Getting it to its soft point may sacrifice a bit of power, but I think it's worth it. Smooth, quality cab at that point.

Clear deep ruby, clean a pronounced nose with as aromas of black plum, eucalyptus, flint, charred wood, earth and mushrooms. Wine is fully developed. Palate: dry, medium plus acidity,very smooth, medium tannins, high alcohol, medium plus to full body with medium plus flavors that mirror the aromas. Very pleasant and satisfying medium plus finish. Very good wine in its prime now and can also be aged for 5 plus more years

This wine has aged well! Nose had its leather and earth notes with dark fruits taking over! Flavors followed with luscious dark fruit - black cherry and even ripe plum. Tannins were soft but expressive making the finish a delight with dark fruit! Really a good wine - had smoked short ribs with this wine- perfect combination!!
