  Blackberry, density, some leather, a bit of spices (syrah like), feels a little older than its 11 years.

  This one was up and down. The big fruit phase is over. At times this was muted, others the friut partially revived. Next bottle will wait because I believe it's in a dumb phase and will develop some complexity in the future. Seems to have good structure for long aging

  Dark ruby fruit - currants/cassis, dark cherry, and blackberry. Smooth mid-palate with a nice purity (the tannins are quite soft/incorporated quite well) but it came across lighter than previous bottles - medium body. Soft/somewhat subtle flavors of dark berries, some spice, and a little graphite component. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep. Popped/poured but drank out of a decanter for a couple hours. Not much improvement with time. Drank next to the 2016 vintage which was quite a bit better - bigger/fuller fruit, more character/expressive, etc.. I really enjoyed this vintage a couple years ago when I felt it was more or less in line with the 95 rating from WA but this bottle was somewhat underwhelming. 92/93 for me at this stage. 100% cab.

  Decanted, poured into glasses and started drinking within minutes. Basically, a pop and pour wine! Tannins were soft, great nose rich with dark fruit, and the palette was well balanced without being a fruit bomb. Paired well with Italian food and I'm sure with any other savory dish.
