PnP for the lack of a decanter and I’m glad we did. Just letting it open up in the glass while having a picnic with a river in front of us in Tennesee was quite an experience. The body is medium plus, with a black fruit, moca, tabacco and a French feeling. Great palate and long lingering finish.
This should drink great for the next 8-10 years.

The person who brought this was very disappointed that this showed much more unripe, green pepper pyrazine character than he expected. I embraced it but after reading others' reviews, I do wonder if our bottle had good provenance.

So elegant, with lots of blue fruit and hints of secondary flavors. Still singing on day 2.

Washington State Blind Tasting (Grapes & Grains, Temecula, CA): Tasted blind. Incorrectly identified as Cabernet Franc.

Aged very well with soft tannins but great structure. Earthy with black cassis, cherry. Very rich and full bodied.

Way too young to drink now. Not sure how everyone is ranking this vintage so highly
