Decanted for about 45 minutes. Deep purple-garnet in colour. Nose of black plums, blackberries, black licorice, and a touch of ripe blueberries. On the palate, the fine-grained tannins are noticed along with blackberries, cassis, along with some mint and hints of cinnamon and espresso. Medium-full bodied with a medium finish. Still has plenty of life ahead of it.

Velvety smooth now with really well integrated tannins. Fruit lovers will still enjoy but the wine has evolved into plusher dark fruit flavors. Immensely enjoyable. I think it’s drinking very well right now and much better than it was 3 years ago. The drinking window just seems to keep extending.

NYE 2022 at M-D's. This was my WOTN. From a decanter. So wonderfully said "I am a Napa cab!" Blackberries, plums, spice, chocolate... Yes indeed! Long finish... All of which made you want more!
