P&P. On the downside...this was very nice on the pop, but after a couple of hours or so it began to degrade. Lush black fruit and tobacco, with sweet vanilla on the finish. By day 2 (stored in a 375 ml filled to the top) it had fallen apart and was no longer enjoyable. If you have any left, I'd recommend drinking it in the near term, and plan on finishing the bottle when you do. It is outstanding for the first hour or two but starts to decline after that. Drink now.

My last of four and I wish there were four more because this seems to be just hitting it's sweet spot. Needed a few hours open until the palate gained some texture, then it displayed a silky smoothness that reminds me of the river on a calm, quiet morning. This walks a nice line of delivering a lot of ripe fruit and not being bombastic or over the top in any way. Congratulations if you're holding these in your cellar. It's been worth the wait.

Drank with New York Steak. Excellent. The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Slow. It smells like Cedar. It tastes like and Black currant (cassis). The body is Medium/Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Medium.

(OWEN ROE WALLA WALLA CABERNET SAUVIGNON) #2; VaynerPAZZZ (based on QPR); COLOR-dark; NOSE-very complete & complex; stuffed peppers component; bell & green pepper; hint of spearmint; TASTE-really great grip; firm tannins; little hot; little Twizzler action; good acidity; best to be put away for 2-3 years at least; a little Oak; I like this wine (After Cheese: not really better, although the fruit is more pronounced); GV-90+

Enjoyable, smooth, but unremarkable. Took an hour or two to open up after decanting.
