November 24, 2014 - Not a typical Cab. Smells and tastes were close but not spot on. Finish was short and not satisfying.

May 8, 2012 - Left to breathe in the bottle for about 2 hours. Consistent with previous TN except that the tannins seem pretty much resolved now. Smooth, elegant mouthfeel with nice blueberry and dark cherry fruit to go along with secondary notes of chocolate, leather and some black tea on the 25 second finish. Definitely a more feminine style of cabernet which shows nice resatraint and elegance. Drinking well right now. Guess this bottle didn't come anywhere close to making it until 2016 which seems to have been my plan. Oh well!

August 10, 2011 - Decanted 1 hour and rebottled. This has improved nicely since the last time i tasted it nearly 2 years ago. Was intially a little tannic even after the 1 hour decant. The wine opened up over the next few hours and showed nice blueberry and blackberry fruit. This is now showing more complexity with notes of chocolate, mushroom and leather. Medium plus body with nice elegance and balance. More of a feminine style of cab. The finish is about 25 seconds with notes of black tea and some drying tannins still in evidence. I have one more bottle which i intend to hold until around 2016 when i think this will be at its' peak.
