  A nose of some dark fruit and spice, dark ruby in color. A medium full bodied easy drinking Cab, with black cherry, black currants, and some spice on finish. Expected more as I tried in tasting room, so maybe one off bottle. www.winelx.com

  Before decant
  Nose P intensity of dark currants and spiced black plum, cocoa dust, hit stones,
  Palate bright raging m+ acidity, v fine m+ tannin, mocha, dark cherry, leafy green tobacco, graphite, coffee
  Focused and linear
  
  After
  Nose has eased off into a more savoury territory, intensity mutes, more leafy tobacco, olive aromatics.
  Palate remains true, tannins still very grippy
  
  Intense, classy and stylish but without soul.

  Stitching itself together nicely after a two hour decant. Reassessing my window here. Prime time might be around 2025 and still really good and powerful now. Fruit is just a touch over ripe on day two, but still plenty of structure. Thinking long term window might be around 2030 for my palate.

  Solid effort on a daily drinker. Black fruit jam with hints of menthol.
