  Slow ox’ing for 5 hours, and I think the nose concentration may have suffered a bit because of it.. Would definitely recommend a 1-2 hour decant and consume by the 4th or 5t hour; as it was a little weak in the nose in that window and didn’t improve by hour 8.
  
  Perfect acidic balance and full ripe fruit. Had a little more going on than the ’01 Ramey Jericho Canyon cab blend, and was more in the drink-on-its-own camp, versus being built for food. At $45 you will be very satisfied; at $75, you might not be. Drink up, as this is peaking now.

  A great surprise. Drinking very well right now. Quite a bit of sediment to filter out. Nice texture, bright flavor, great nose

  This is in a good place. Lots of sediment, but the texture and flavors are right where I like them. Not a big bruiser, and not sweet. It's classy and has just a bit of funk that makes it interesting.
