PnD for 1.5 hrs. Deep crimson in color. Potent nose of cassis, green bells, and oak. Classic Cab nose. Plush, velvety mouthfeel with fine grained tannins. Some vanilla on the med finish. I would guess this was aged in at least 50% new American oak. Great effort.
Enjoyed in a Riedel Vinum Bordeaux glass at 59°F.

Though tasty, fading a bit from its peak.

Peppery plum! Initially the pepper was dominant but as it opened, plum almost prune flavors developed. Almost a sugared candy nose. Nicely matured.

Improved over a bottle 1.5 yrs ago. Ripe black fruit on the front with an interesting dried herb note and peppery spice in the finish.
