Color: Dark Ruby Nose: It displayed aromas red cherries, cassis, tobacco, leather, earth, with hints of vanilla Palate: It had an unctuous balance of dark fruit and a little spice Finish: Medium to full bodied with a very nice balance of tannins with a lingering finish Decanting: It was decanted for ~3.5 hours before drinking Thoughts: This is an excellent Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Our thoughts are this wine is nearing the end of prime drinking time. It is a wine we will keep in our cellar and use for many occasions.

Same Characteristics as previous tasting notes, with the only difference being the time it took for it to open up. We popped and aerated in the glass. That means it is nearing the end of prime drinkability. Will continue to keep this wine in our cellar.

Very nice .. Fruit forward, chocolate, dark berry (not cherry) great Alexander representation. 30 mins in decanter was perfect. Likely at peak now to 18 months...
