Decanted for 45 minutes. Dark berries and chocolate on the nose and palate. Tannins are well integrated. Drinking beautifully. Full bodied and pretty well balanced but somewhat pedestrian. A well made lush wine but lacking some depth. Still delicious though. Drink up.

Decanted for 30 mins and vigorously swirled. Modestly aromatic, elegant dark fruit accompanied by a slightly cloying finish with very firm and drying tannins. Simply outstanding for my palate.

Poured through an aerator and decanted. Big nose of jammy fruits with a whiff of ETOH. Inky purple in hue. Full bodied and big. Jammy dark fruits and dark chocolate with hints of espresso. The alcohol is present but not overbearing. This wine could use a long decant. For a 10 y/o cab it is drinking pretty well at the moment but could go about another 10 years. I'm going to sit on my holdings to see where this goes.

Full bodied wine. Oaky, dark fruit, cedar and chocolade. Dry and soft tannins, complex with long aftertaste.
