  Long legs, lovely bouquet, tannins still pronounced and fruit beginning to fade. The cork was a bit dry through the core so maybe this bottle isn't a good representation. I have 5 bottles left so hoping that it is one off. After a good aeration the tannins began to soften, and the fruit came forward. Cabernet Sauvignon definitely takes center stage. Day 2: The tannins are still pronounced, and the fruit still receding, but that being said it still drinks nicely. Definitely punches above its original price point.

  I’m getting some nice secondary flavors and still plenty of acid/backbone. Drinks more like a right bank BDX imho

  Super smooth and drinking extremely well right now. Delicate nose with a hint of gunpowder and a medium finish of blue fruit. At or close to peak...
