Decanted 1 hr, nice spicey floral nose, currants, cassis, black cherry, plums, hints of cedar, medium finish. Based on this well cellared bottle I see no signs of fading, should hold up well for at least another five years in a cool consistent environment.

Decanted 1.5 hr, currant/cassis, red plums, coffee, cedar and vanila, Nice balance, subtle by california standards, nice food cab that went well with bone-in ribeye and roasted root veggies. I think another couple of years in the bottle will bring out even more complexity! 92+

Despite a 3 hr decant this remained a bit raw and rough.
