Opening up at 6:30 Cork is perfect and floral tones are beautiful Wonderful juicy first sip a little tight with dark fruit tones Nice viscosity Second sip at 7- opening up nicely I will definitely buy again 1 hour in - still a little tight now some oak notes along with fruit.
Oh no my first glass is gone! Pouring my second and really enjoying the price is right folks I think the 91 from good ole James is fair I think a 80 from me comparing others but 90+ so James has my vote too

After pour for 30 minutes it’s still tight but has the typical cab fruit and it definitely needs to breath
I probably should have decanted
After 1 hour it’s better but doesn’t have a very smooth finish however the fruit is there and has some oak
2 hours finally opening up nicely and smoother still doesn’t have an amazing finish but tasty I give this 89
