Decanted about four hours prior to serving. Very dark color and showing no visible signs of age. Nose of blackberry, cassis, leather and black tea. Similar palate, but it falls flat in acidity for me. The 93 score here is at the end of day one. Day two shows similar nose and palate, but the mouthfeel and vibrancy are off the charts. 96 points on day two. Clearly no hurry here, but I'm going to sit on the rest of my bottles for three to five years before opening another.

Great nose, bouquet, and mouthfeel with a quick decant. Continued to evolve over the next 2 hours until there was no more left. Delicious at this point with no signs of age yet. Enjoy.

So F...'ng oood from beginning to end. Terrific nose. So well balanced tannins/acid. No decant needed. Enjoyed sooo much before & during NY steak dinner. Will be searching for for more to purchase.

Incredible mouthfeel, settled, plush tannins. Mouthcoating entry, muddled blueberry, ripe plum, prune, licorice, sweet tobacco. Incredible depth and finish

Outstanding cab. One hour slow ox, super good from first sip to last. Deep dark mountain fruit, but very approachable now (if you like big wines).
