Deep ruby wine with a somewhat reticent nose at first. A short decant allows the wine to open nicely. Nose of violets, black cherry, tobacco leaf, and a faint earthiness. Soft, polished tannins on the palate with tastes of black cherry and blueberry, dark fruits somewhat subdued. Nice length on finish. Much better over time, surprisingly slow to open, better structure than expected. Drinking really well at this point in time, but needs a short decant to allow it to start to develop. More impressive with some bottle age.

Needed some air and then was ready to go. But LOTS of sediment- decant next time.

Ripe berry nose & palate, medium bodied, good balance, medium finish. Quite enjoyable.

Went well with short ribs. Not as full in the mouth as other cabs of the evening.
