Totally agree with the prior note describing it as too over the top; this thing almost drinks like a tawny port. Licorice, burnt citrus, over-ripe something or other. Thought it might subdue after decanting for an hour or so but no such luck.

Much subtler than Charles’ usual cab-syrah blends (Creator, etc.). I guess I’m calibrated to that baseline, I found this unimpressive and lacking complexity.
