Decanted for 1 hour and drank over 2 hours. I would decant for 3-4 hours next time. Deep purple, no noticeable browning in meniscus. Blackberry and berry jam on the nose. Med+ body and tannins. Completely bone dry. Black pepper and dried violet at the start transitioning to a strong finish with notes of charcoal, tobacco, and baking spice. Drink now!

I had this wine as a tasting at the winery. It is aging beautifully. Very smooth but tannins are still well structured. Bold dark fruit with a medium plus finish. Age has really helped this wine. Drink, drink, drink!

Pulled from cellar, let warm then decanted for 1 hour. Solid, I found the tannins dominated the fruit a little too much. Not much of a finish. Basic Napa cab. Solid, ok QPR.
