  12/17/2017 - DesMarteau Likes this wine:

  Hollow upon opening ....tart raisin ...after 2-3 hours of air improves greatly....gains weight and depth. Chocolate covered cherries, blueberries, kirsch, spice, long finish and tannins in check. A little heat...very slight.

  Pours a deep purple with aromas of purple fruits tinged with green herbal notes.
  
  Flavors follow the nose and the tannins are well-integrated. There's a harshness to the palate that wasn't there in its youth. My last of a case -- the wine was smoother and more red-fruited in its youth but last few bottles have been less enjoyable.

  Drank over 3 days, think the wine has aged well and probably needs to be consumed sooner than later. Was a strange evolution once exposed to oxygen compared to other cabs of similar structure.

  PNP with pork chops. Nice dark ruby red color, fruit forward with hints of black fruit, tannins are almost non-existent, short finish. Good QPR.
