  Pretty solid. Solid enough I bought two cases of the 2016 from the Underground Cellars liquidation.
  
  I don’t drink much Cabernet, but this has been a good everyday drinker. Oh, and, this should develop for at least another 2-3 years.

  Decanted and immediately began to consume over the next ~1 hour. Blackberry, plum, blueberry, toasted oak, lavender, granite. Medium-plus body, tannins, and acidity. Good now and the last glass was best. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this improve. Went well with spaghetti with meat sauce.

  Off the list at a restaurant, decanted ahead of time and followed over the course of a few hours.
  
  The baby fat shed after some time, showing a nice complex and still young wine. Plenty of fruit, good underlying earthy notes, supple oak integration. Should drink beautifully for another 10 years easy.
  
  Went very well with burgers and steak.

  Brief note - Nice dark fruits with some tobacco, oak, and floral notes. Went well with spaghetti with meat sauce. Velvety tannins. Ready now and should drink well for several more years.
