  Took about an hour of decanting. Soft and silky mouth feels. Various notes of umami, mineralogy, and berry fruit. Glad we opened up a bottle now!

  Medium ruby red. Not a complex nose but essence of mint, chocolate, pencil lead and toast. Nice balance of tannins and acidity but short mouth feel, and light fruit layers.
  It tastes like strawberry and red currant.

  Decanted 30 minutes. Deep saturated dark garnet in the glass. Muted nose with dark cherry and hints of coconut. Sadly this wine was about two years past its prime. A nicely made wine with a very nice mouthfeel, however the fruit has faded quite a bit which is reflected in the rating. Drink or gift.

  Right up opening the wine exhibited several notes of camphor. High concentration and high extraction. After about 2 hrs on the decanter it really showed what it has. Modern style, California cabernet with no apologies. I suspect that the wine will hold past 2012 given that it was best after a long decant.

  Nothing wrong here but nothing memorable either. Good nose, smooth balance. But very little weight, super refined tannins and a lack of real fruit prevent this balanced nice cabernet from being better.
