  Needed 1-2 hr of air initially but the wine was singing after that. Velvety smooth tannins and savory.

  Entered into WA / OR red over $75 tasting and it crushed the competition. Great balance, big fruit, lots of time left on this one.

  Opened this gem to share with wonderful friends as a treat. This is my first Quilceda Creek wine!
  Initial pour right after opening, beautiful opaque garnet, the legs were slow to form. The nose was constrained and initial taste was tight. Double decanted then left to rest for an hour. Second taste the air really began to open up this wine, the legs formed quick and thin. Nose was big dark fruits, black cherry, tannins were silky. Waited another hour (2 hours from opening) the wine is beautiful and amazing. Structured and balanced. At 4 hours the wine had fulled opened and was a beautiful experience.
  
  Food pairing, Ribeye, needs the beef & fat to complement the big Cab Sav. Roasted Brussels sprouts and pancetta wrapped asparagus.

  Decanted 90 minutes before service. In the glass, dark maroon at the rim, shading quickly to near-impenetrable black at the core. On the nose, damp pine forest, incense, and currants. On the palate, cassis liqueur and more pine, with tannic structure asserting its presence on the mid-palate and the long finish. Comes across as youthful, but it is approachable now with a bit of air. Another five years will be beneficial.

  Encore bien ample et tout en jeunesse.
  Grosse matière, des mures et des poivrons
  avec une peu d'épices. Les tannins sont
  serrés et la finale hyper longue
  assèche un peu.
  Jeune et brutal en ce moment.
