Saturday, March 9, 2024 - Decanted a portion with stir and it opened after an hour. Vacuvin’d the rest. Same results on day 4. Tried PnP on day 3 but it didn’t really open well after 1-2 hrs (give this air). Rose petal, lilac, raspberry on the nose. Black cherry, raspberry, hint of dark chocolate and vanilla, with 30-35 sec finish. Nice pairing with sausage pasta and likely great with steak as well. Plush style of cabernet.
