  Two hour decant. Lovely aromatics (my wife noted it wafting out of my glass three feet from her outdoors on our deck). Blackberries, cassis, tobacco. Also a familiar (Atlas Peak?) note that I find astonishing but can't describe. Full bodied, balanced, smooth and mouthcoating. Grainy tannins and a long finish. One of the best BVs from Ed and Kirk.

  Agree with Be.Lee- this wine has improved with time. It is a very subtle, smooth wine with nice slight blue with red fruit notes. Clean finish. Went well with the meat I had. Not the powerful wine I was expecting but great nonetheless .

  Excellent wine. I preferred to the wine I drank last night (see date). Expressive nose, nice acidity balanced with tannic elevation on palate with soft heat. Very mouth coating. Nose of graphite, dark berry, pot pouri.
  
  I am not sure what happened with my last notes? Bad bottle? Bad taster? LOL!

  This wine is coming into its own! This is a powerhouse that gives off the flavor of the best that Atlas Peak has to offer in a amazing year for Cabernet grapes. Ed Snider is a master and brings another magnificent wine . I will miss Beau Vigne!

  A bit clunky. Opened now for hours.... very astringent; sharp; graphite, leather, slate. Not much berry. Not very enjoayable and definitely not for the price.
