After decanting several hours, the tannins were velvety and wine had a long, smooth finish. Cedar notes and plum rounded out the nose. Pleasantly surprised with this wine. Great balance. Not as good second day.

Needs decanting to open up, big smooth tannins, good balance. This wine has plenty of years left to age, but drinking great right now. Dark, opaque with lots of chocolate, cedar, and black cherry

Fresh aroma of dark berries, with hints of cedar and eucalyptus. Full-bodied, with lots of good fruit and a medium finish. This has firm tannins, but should mellow with age, not the greatest balance. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
