Saturday, June 17, 2023 - Decanted 2 hours and it needed it. Strangely, this one threw nearly no sediment. Drinking as a beautifully mature Cabernet. Black fruits, tobacco, cassis, leather, earth, and a hint of herbal on the nose. Similar flavors with more blackberry, earth, leather dominating. Very soft tannins in the long silky finish. Will easily go at least another decade +. Everything I expect in a mature Montelena.
