Good fruit at a matured state. Some green pepper and green grass flavors after airing for an hour or so. I could easily detect this when drinking the wine by it self; however the greenness receded into the background when drinking with almonds. I often used almonds when tasting wine, but had not previously noticed this. Seems to say "green" Cabs might complement some non-traditional food pairings.

RT, two hour decant (moderate sediment). Deep purple and beginnings of some bricking. Black cherries and loam on the nose, a little bit of heat/etoh before decant. Smooth and medium weight. Black fruit, tending to jam, some cocoa. Nice bottle, maybe transitioning but not sure this is going to be as enjoyable with more age, seems more one dimensional than previously.

Still has some life left, I would say to drink now to 2020. Not my type of wine. I found it austere and with not much character.
