Luis goes to Cahill Bistro: This seemed jammy and slightly alcoholic to me, with a lot of fruit. It definitely tasted like Napa, but not much like a traditional merlot. Of course it was still decent.

Decanted two hours, with another 4 hours of slow O back in the bottle. Fresh red and black fruit, bold, but not over the top. I found it more subdued earlier in the evening and more fruit-forward when I revisited it 20 or 30 minutes later. A bit young for my tastes, but I enjoyed it. This will go years and years. 92 now with lots of upside.

Another Great Luis Tasting! (Cahill Bistro): 2 hour decant and 3 hours slo-O. Drinking quite well! Lots of cream of cherry with milk chocolate, hints of bramble. This is drinking quite well, and one of my favorites of the night. Perfect treatment, which also speaks to the fact that no hurry opening this wine, but if properly decanted, will reward now. Drink or hold. A very good value, IMO. 93+ to 94.

Testing very well...nice balance of tannins and fruit. Was excellent for Thanksgiving. Glad I have 2 bottles left.
