  Well rounded, opened 1.5 hrs before, lots of sediment, enjoyed with a hearty pasta, red sauce and meatballs

  Much better integrated than my previous bottle.
  But nowhere near as exciting as the excellent 2010.

  Drank after short decant. Disappointing nose and taste and reminded me more of a Pinot. Fruits were more evident with food.

  A caramel/vanilla note dominated at first.
  More balanced and appealing on the second day.
  I'll hold my third bottle for a couple more years.

  First half of the bottle consumed after a short decant.
  More like an inexpensive Bordeaux blend than a good Cabernet.
  While it is a very good wine, it isn't what I expected and is disappointing for the price.
