Wednesday, December 31, 2014 - A light to medium weight cab.
Smells of berry burst through, with hints of cocoa.
I love the old world style, but it is still way to tight, even after a 1-3 hour decant with tastings during intervals. Tannins are there, it has the backbone for 20-30 years of aging. This needs at least 3-5 more years in the bottle before I'll open another.
Still it's enjoyable but not as approachable as a Valley floor cab is early.
I'm sure in 5 years this will be a 94-95 point wine for me.
I bought a case to cellar...
