I tried both the magnum and the 750ml. Both were decanted with an aerator. The 750 needed a little more time to open up, but once it did seemed to be just a tad bit more full, everyone seemed to like the smaller bottle better. Both were very complex, well-balanced and had an excellent finish. We were at Ruth's Chris and the Barone stood up very well against a hearty meal of steak and fish.

Very smooth, silky cab. On the nose, vanilla, plum, fig, and blackberry. Dark fruit, and vanilla on the palate. Very smooth mouth feel which lingers pleasantly. Enjoyed this wine a lot with steak.

Tannins still big, alcohol becomes noticable. Good quality fruit but a bit disjointed. Enjoyable but not great and not worth the tariff. 89-90
