Smuggled this one into the movie theatre to enjoy while watching Rocketman but silly me this one definitely needed to open up first and/or decanting. When it did open up it was quite good but a little heavier that expected.

Better tonight. While soft and elegant this wine did have mid palette flavors of blackberry, some cherry, and mainly cola as the predominant flavor.
I opened the following: 1. Orin Swift Palermo 2015 -88 a powerful & sour fruit bomb 2. ZD Cabernet 2015 -91. An elegant softer old world Cabernet 3. Tor Kenward Melanson 2014 - 96. A modern style & powerful Cabernet

Soft and not what I expected. I was expecting modern big and instead I have a wine which is more classic and frankly mediocre. That is at least tonight. I have put this away for another 24 hours. I will report back.

Softer on the 2nd day. A consistent performer in the sub-$100 Napa Cab range.

Smooth and creamy. Edges a bit soft yet dark fruits and fresh herbs glide harmoniously over and earthy core. Excellent
