Took this to a dinner party so there was no time to decant. Didn't seem to need it really and it opened up nicely after some time in glass.
Deep garnet colour with fragrant nose of blackberries and more dark fruits. Not a lot of tertiary aromas detected. Palate felt well-structured at medium-bodied weight with nicely integrated oak and tannins, however the fruit was a bit too sweet tasting for me. Very nicely developed at this stage and will hold nicely for another decade I'm sure.

IMW - Cab / Cab Franc Walk-Around Tasting 2018 (mostly 2014 vintage) (Hyatt, San Francisco): Flawed. Coin polish. Seems like a riper style of cab though with good acid. Med tannins.
