One hour in the decanter. Fruit forward with some hints of dirt and old wood. Lite tannins remain to suggest a good 5-7 years left before this bottle's peak. Pepper and spice on the pallet. Long finish. Very enjoyable bottle of wine.

in early years, inprevious bottles they were more robust, but this time it was full, flavorful but lighter. It was almost like the california cabernet had settled out, smoothed out, but the thrill was gone.
