  Tasted over two nights.
  
  Night 1: Unbalanced, with an unpleasant bitter green note, and the charred oak note sticks out. Hard work, saved 3/4 of the bottle for later.
  
  Night 2: Much better, luxurious flow and length. The charred oak/coffee note still exists but has receded slightly into the midpalate fruit. Still an intense orb of cassis fruit on the midpalate. Not much in the way of tannic structure - just a faint burr.
  
  Not really my cup of tea, but can understand others liking this more.

  Matured, minimal air needed, open up nicely in the bottle after 1-2 hours.

  Decantered for an hour or so. I’d say this is close to a peak (though no hurry either). Easy 94, probably in the 94-95+ range. Sadly my last

  A nice Cabernet going on here. It is ripe and generous, notes of tobacco, ripe blackberries, cedar and light eucalypt flavours. Has depth and concentration but pitch perfect balance as well. Plenty of gas in the tank.
