February 22, 2016 - This is a lighter on the full-body cab side. When I first opened it, it was tight and had a "herbal" taste/finish and wasn't very good. However, after sitting in the decanter for ~ 3 hours, it got much better. The nose opened up, there was a good fruit (herbal taste disappeared) on the mid-palate. The transition to the finish and the finish itself was very good & long. I was very skeptical about this wine at first, but then really liked it at the end. I still think it is still a baby with plenty of life (4-7 years). I would highly recommend decanting it to allow it time to open up and get its act together before drinking.
