Classic BTK nose and palate of graham crackers and dark fruits, with dusty tannins and some red hots on the finish. This wine is drinking extremely well right now, definitely has a few more years to go. Gave a 3 hour decant on day 1, felt like it picked up some weight on Day 2. For me Day 2 > Day 1, but trust me, it'll be difficult to wait that long!

Wow. Did this wine deliver! It has hit peak but continues to be well balanced and integrated. Still feeling relatively young and fresh with no signs of loosing it's spunk. Excellent fruit penetration but not overwhelming. It exudes the great concentrated flavors of its terroir in Oakville. Finishes medium to long

Double decanted 2.5 hours. Needed 30-45 minutes more to fill out the body. Delicious and balanced Oakville Cab, entering its drinking window. Reminds me of Opus One.

This is going to be one of the best BTKs ever. Great acidity. Lovely fruit. Just starting to develop. As I said in 2015, has the brooding aspect of the 2006s out of the gate. They have softened by and large, but this is evolving very very slowly.

Decanted three hours. Beautiful ripe To-Kalon Cabernet from Luc Morlet, going strong with the usual blackcurrants and thick, smooth texture.
