  Decanted for an hour and followed over an additional three. Everything you want in a Rutherford Cabernet; cassis, macerated red cherry, dusty tannins, and a lovely cigar box note on the finish that became more prominent as the evening wore on.

  Cherries, blackberries, cassis on nose and palate. Smooth in the mouth. Long finish. This is an elegant wine that, at this point, only needs a little air. Have always found these wines as consistently good.

  Decanted two hours. Already good at pnp. But after 2 hours, wow! Just singing. So much going on.
  
  Nose: Ripe red fruit, baking spice, a touch of earthiness and funk
  Palate: ripe raspberry, tangy cherry, touch of blackberry, finish goes on and on and on for 30 seconds. As it got more air, cranberry notes interwoven with the other flavors.
  
  This is a well made wine in a more restrained style, but done so well. Wow. Just great stuff.

  Needs two hours - before that, it feels a little simple. But then it's elegant and amazing as always.

  Dark and dense. Needed a couple hours in the decanter. After opening up a bit, the nose shows sweet red fruits, pencil shavings, and chocolate.
  
  This completely coats the palate with black current, blackberry, cassis, and cherry. The finish is full and long. I like that this isn’t just a huge fruit bomb.
