Blend of 70% Cab, 18% PV, 12% Syrah. Consumed over several hours, was best at 3 hours. Rich and layered with some structure and pronounced use of oak treatment. Bouquet of dark berry fruit, leather, tobacco and oak in the early going; later picked up notes of black cherry and hints of earthy and herbaceous tones underneath. Full-bodied with notes of cassis, anise, tobacco and hint of chocolate on the palate. Tannins were soft and velvety, low acidity, and ending with a dry medium finish with a little heat.

Not as good as last bottle. Disjointed with a confusing back mouthfeel. I'm going with an off bottle.

Drank a couple of weeks ago, no formal notes. Outstanding with steak. Friends enjoyed it.

Pop & pour, drank over 45 min., no formal notes, though was very nice. Maybe needed a touch more time to reveal more.
