  November 15, 2019 - Fantastic representation of a classic big body Napa Cab. I decanted and tried at 30 minutes, 1 hour, and then 2 hours with a ribeye and lobster risotto. Kept opening and changing as time passed. What a great bottle!! Complex layers of dark fruit, vanilla and spice, tobacco, and cigar box
  
  Drink now or I believe you clearly could even cellar this one for another 3 - 7 years. Tasting notes are from 30 minutes decanted.
  
  **Note: Definitely decent this one. While it's almost 7 years old, it's still youthful and decanting will smooth out the tannins a bit.
  
  Color: Deep purple, slightly opaque
  
  N: Lucious black fruit like black currant, cassis, and blackberry, vanilla, baking spices, tobacco, and cigar box
  
  P: Nose is pretty spot on. Well layered and complex melding the rich black fruit, vanilla and baking spices and a slight under tone of cigar box and sweet tobacco. Full body, Plus alcohol, medium plus tannins that open up after a few hours decanted, medium acidity
  
  F: Long finish of cigar box, tobacco, and baking spices.
