  Decanted 45 min. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was similar to day 1. Consistent lively tastes of red & darker fruits.

  Opened but not decanted to pair with some pasta dishes. Tannins are still prevalent and could use some time yet. Some black fruits present. Give it a few more years before opening another.

  Thelonious Monk is on the label a fine jazz musician, scan the Spotify icon to listen to his album. Is this wine cool like the Monk, is it Legit?
  
  The nose came off like a musky men's cologne along with dusty blackberry, Indian spices, cured meat, raspberry, & olive oil. A juicy wine hits you then mouth-drying tannins that let up a bit after 90 min. Some Tobacco, blueberry, & savory notes. Great food wine but never thought of a Cab. Monk's album is a perfect 5/5 but not so for this wine. Maybe 2018 will be better.

  At about 20 euros, this is good everyday cab. Tannins still have a few years to fully integrate. Doesn’t have the flashiness of new world cabs, but I like this approach as well once in a while. Anyway my half case is enough whenever it’s gone. Don’t like the label, but it’s not that important
