(Tasted after a 3-hour decant): This bottle (my last of this one) is much better than previous bottles, and actually tastes like a Napa Cab. Nice blackcurrant and boxwood/coffee flavors, good tangy acidity. Would have been good with a steak.

Glossy clear red color, beautiful aroma; green bell pepper, with some astringent effect; some sweet fruit background. Nice long lingering flavors. Good acidity and medium tannis. Reminds me of 2011 Napa reds, which is not necessarily a good thing.

Upon opening: shy. After an hour, it reveals some character. Good but not noteworthy. Iffy QPR @ $29 from WTSO.

Hitting in the places I wanted. Thinner than I expected but nice balance for more aging. Keep my next bottle until the 2020's

Very much berry cobbler. Could use more time.
