This is a wine for big Napa cab lovers, despite the fact that's its from Sonoma. All the previous notes were very accurate, though I wish I would have remembered to give it more air. The first sip right out of the bottle was good but after an hour of air in the decanter, it was immensely better. I have recently gone with less decanting time for most of my wines but this is one that needs probably 1.5-2 hours to really get going. By the time we finished the wine after 2 hours in the decanter, it was still improving. Flavor profile is not quite as complex as you would like for $300 but if you like big Cabs, this one is for you.

Had this at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. Really amazing stuff, def WOTN for me after two french wines earlier in the night. This is really high energy stuff and is probably in its peak drinking window right now, although still has many, many years of good drinking to go. Best Les Pavots I've ever tasted.

Had this at Antrim 1844 in Taneytown, MD. Its in a great spot right now and I'm not sure how much better its going to get. Great representation of right bank Bordeaux from a great vintage.
