May 5, 2020 - 30 min decant. Quite a rich nose, mocha, some wood, and just a hint of mint. Still has some fruit, plum, maybe a little cassis - all classic cab, but with some darker tertiary notes coming in too. Very smooth with almost no tannin, just enough acidity on the finish to keep it fresh. Made in a more easy drinking style that probably isn't really designed to age this long. Possible past its best, but by no means dead. Still quite enjoyable.

April 8, 2017 - A simple honest cab.fairly muted nose with some oaky vanilla and a bit of dark berry fruit. Slightly crunch brble and cherry fruits on the palate, a thread of acidity and tannins on the finish. QPR is good.
