  Weird. Still tannin but fruit was stewed. Just not very good

  PNP, consumed over an hour.
  
  This bottle was pulled after 05 Araujo Eisele which was just in a lovely place and 13 RH is not far behind. A proper decant would have helped as this wine is just entering an early window for my palate. Plenty of enjoyment to be hand opening now or continued cellaring. No hard edges just hitting a stride with a touch of secondary on the horizon.
  
  94+
  
  Drink or hold.

  Drinking fantastic with a decant, oh so good. Red fruit with a balanced fruit and tannin profile with its oak and wood notes settling into the background. This has come along way in the past three years since I have tasted it last. This is the second wine from Abreu and it easily outshines some other headline bottlings.

  Sign me up for more leftovers! This is a last winery effort? Anyway, really good cabernet with well-integrated tannins. Medium bodied.

  Against my own advice from a few years ago to hold off to 2022+ on this wine, I opened a bottle of this and decanted for a few hours.
  
  Still tight, very very dry tannins. This is a wine for 10+ years... holding my last bottle for 2028 (note to future self). NR for now but clearly has the stuffing to last.
  
  Understandingly, a 2013 Moone Tsai Hillside Blend drank next to it fared much better and was more accessible and open for business.
