Dark garnet in color. A bit of brown around the edge. Nose of dark cherry, cigar box, oak, and cream. Second nose opens up. More cherry, vanilla, and blueberry. Smooth with aged cherry - almost port-like - with blueberry jam, and cream. Tannin structure is still robust but has nicely mellowed. The fruit and tannins meld nicely. Very smooth and balanced.

VG wine, little lighter than a typical cab, but absolutely deliscios with a charred steak with truffles. Dark fruit with floral note. Tannins really blending in with the fruit. IMHO drink up

Blackberry, plum, meat, leather, mineral. Fair amount of new oak. At a really good spot but will continue to improve as the oak gets a little more integrated. About an hour decant, but wish I had been patient enough to wait a little longer.

Raspberry jam, cedar, cassis. Smooth and velvety. Tannins are small-grained, and a bit low in complexity.
