  Now at its peak, tasting of plum, pencil lead, river stones, tobacco. Drink this with a good steak (meat, tuna, portabello), lamb or bolognese. A sturdy companion to a hearty winter meal.
  
  Day 2: better after 24 hours on the decanter, smoother & better balance with alcohol less forward behind a super silky texture. Now more cherry than plummy. Think I drank too soon after decanting last night, give it a couple of hours before consuming.
  
  Lovely mature cab at its peak. Yummy in the tummy. Don't wait much longer to drink, there may not be much upside from here.

  This is the real deal: unpretentious complexity, smooth, that big fruit is a bit faded - fine by me, well crafted, balanced. I have another bottle, and will save it but only until later this year

  This was very good. Fresh cherry aromas. Sweet fruit with a smooth finish. A very elegant wine. (Note: I just discovered that I had mistakenly cataloged this wine as an "Oakville," so am correcting the entry - 5/9/20)
