  Jamie and Linda’s Excellent Wine Adventure (Country Club of Florida): Small pour, deep color, with some other grapes, almost Bordeaux like with some sweetness. Drink

  opened 1½ hours prior to decanting and served 30 minutes after decanting. Very minty, very ripe, very alcoholic. Lots of coconut butter, tons of exotic spices. Still going strong after more than 1 hour in decanter and almost 3 hours after opening. Still sharp and alcoholic on the nose, but sooooo beautiful!

  Deep garnet, almost onyx color. Big dark fruits with some dominating heat prior to decanting. Decanted after the first glass - Firm tannins and structure with loads of red currant, smokey anise and cassis. Juicy blackberry with pretty new leather and sweet oak. This bottle seems much younger than the last we tried from this case and could easily evolve another 5+ years. Actually saving a glass to try another night … stay tuned.
  
  Night 3 - drank very similar to night 1 - structure holding firm.
  
  p.s. leftovers

  Beautiful garnet with light amber edge. Ripe, extracted fruit with flint, Asian spice, rhubarb and sweet oak. Quintessential CA Cabernet with lovely notes of blackberry extract, some mocha and several layers along with well defined structure. Definitely drink up.
  
  p.s. mexican pork & beef hash with roasted cauliflower.

  decanted for 1½ hours before serving. Lots of woodsy fragrance. Initially showed plenty of good fruit but a little lean. Two hours in this was really exotic with coconut butter, and pretty sweet on the palate. Drinking really well.
