100% cab. 14.3% ABV. I let it breathe for 2 hours. Enjoyed over 1.5. Compared to bottles I've enjoyed in the past, the acidity of this one was slightly too elevated. Which muted the fruit and detracted a bit from the wine. Enjoyable nonetheless.

100% cab. 14.3% ABV. I let it breathe for 2 hours and drank over next 3. Excellent acidity levels--not too high and not too low. Dense, rich and concentrated. I agree with others re menthol notes. Cedar and licorice as well. A little bottle variation explains my score compared to last score. As good, possibly better, on day 2.

Similar notes to July 2019 tasting. Don' waste your time opening this bottle unless you can give it 2 hours out of the bottle to breathe.
