celebratory dinner. bottle was decanted for 1-2 hours. a lovely and delicious bottle... tannins have softened significantly, bottle shows nice balance, still plenty of fruit left. strong hints of cassis, smoky leather. wine a bit cloudy, which might have improved with advance planning and more time upright to allow settling. a very good showing for washington wine, and the potential here for long-aged cabernets.

Very vegetal mixed with cherries. Green bean and asparagus, cherry, and tobacco. Very mellow.
