Decanted 30-45 minutes and drank over 90 minutes or so. Outstanding balance of red fruit with some Bordeaux geeen pepper notes. Still grippy enough tannins to suggest more improvement in the next 5 years and while good at open, benefited from decant. Smooth silky texture and long finish.

Big, bold, balanced, but smooth and full of grace. Blend of 54% Cab Sauv, 45% Cab Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Wonderful bouquet and enjoyable to sniff repeatedly. Decanted 4 hours and finished the bottle on day #2. Great finish. Wild blackberry, dark chocolate, blackcurrant, baking spice.

Deep ruby colour.
Medium plus intensity on the nose with blackcurrant, tobacco, and vanilla.
Medium plus intensity on the palate. High acidity, high tannins, full body, long finish.
Very enjoyable wine with great length / intensity / complexity.

A wine that is ready can benefit 2 more years guessing. Cheers
