Opened about 30 minutes before serving. A solidly appealing wine, currant notes, a touch of oaky vanilla; moderate finish; tannins are very smooth. Didn’t detect heat noted by some in reviews a few years ago. Don’t expect the wine to improve from here, but I think there are a couple of years left.

No notes taken.
Decanted 3 hrs.
Solid somewhat earthy Cab Sauv.
Not as polished or memorable as Castello D'Ama's,
but decent Ital Cab Sauv.
Fine for $20.
For big tannin food, and give her plenty of decanting to loose any heat.
88+ pts.
