Last bottle and by far the best; much more integrated than earlier bottles. Still has 3-5 yrs IMO. Decanted via Vinturi and continued to evolve over 2 hours. Deep, earthy layered dark fruit with notes of berries, plum, tobacco and graphite. Tannins fully integrated. Long and smooth on the palate. Unique and different but clearly WA.

Not a subtle wine, it' big and brooding, dark blackberries and plum take center stage here with a charcoal background. Very good but lacks finesse to garner a bigger score.

1 hour decant. Slow oxed in bottle. Could have used amotger hour or 2 in the decanter. Bright acidity and nice fruit. Cherries and pomegranates. Still has a bit of life in it for a few more years but now is the time!

PNP. Light color, darkened up over time. Solid wine, expected more weight on the palate. Good flavor and finish. Drink.

Dark color, cab base taste, smooth and great with ribs on a hot summer night.
