Smooth and dark with some maturity and great composure. Cherries and cassis with lovely eucalyptus-like lift and some spicy cigarr-box notes in the end. Quite long but above all very hedonistic and in great balance. Served with bbq with some chili but the wine had no problem with the pairing. Think this one can develop easily another 5-10 years while a great crowdpleaser already.

Decanted for 3 hours. Tight immediately after opening with quite heavy tannins and needed the decant. And what a difference the decant made. The wine was absolutely amazing with a dark nose and the taste was massive with cassis, cocoa, some coffee and some (but not very much) oak. Extremely long taste finishing with the chocolate notes. Had it with a fillet of beef and a sauce with lots of cream, garlic, onions and some Mediterranean herbs. Perfect match, he does the rich tastes and the cream very well. Has got a lot of life left, but it is in a very nice position today after a decant.

Great wine. Needed about a 1-2 hour decant and really opened up. Classic Napa Cab. Quality product. Too bad I only have one bottle.
