No need to hurry with this one. Still sporting some tannins, improves with time, probably needs a decant for an hour or more. Nose subdued but emerges with time. Lots of depth here, might make 92-93 with a few mores years in the cellar. Fruit is sort of buried but it's there. Overall a credible effort.

Extracted and on the hot side; typical of Caton. Decant made it better, but still, hopefully, just too young. Will hold remaining for a few years before revisiting.

A tasty wine. Cherry, blackberry, tar, mocha, herbs. Good with our buffalo burgers. Throwing a lot of sediment at the bottom.
Drink now.

Low acid and still drying, went well with a Ribeye steak and even better with balsamic vinaigrette which brought out some sweetness.

I enjoyed the robustness of this wine - really nice berry flavor. Seems to ha e mellowed with age!
