A rich nose well grown and aged Bordeaux. Smashing. Soft, rich, round fruit so perfectly balanced, across the taste sense spectrum. Rutherford dust, I say, what is the Bordeaux descriptive for dusty clay like mouthfeel?
Shocked by what I taste as a 10 year + old Bordeaux. Perhaps, my taste is aging, not the wine?
If it turns out that Napa Cab was substituted for 2016 Bordeaux, and I turn up dead, you will know who the killers are.

Medium purple,medium(+) rose,raspberry,red cherry,green bell pepper,unripe fruit,cedar,wet leaves,dry,high acidity,unripe medium tannin,medium alcohol,medium body,medium finish,good wine,suitable for bottle ageing
Decanted for total of 3 hours and drank at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hours. Closed yet fruity at hour 1 with good acidity and decent tannins. At hour 2 paired with grilled filet mignon. Still fruity and more open but lacking depth even with the steak pairing (it did go pretty well with the steak though). At hour 3 after dinner by iteself became quite hot. Hour 2 seemed to be the sweet spot and that's where I felt it peaked at 89. Not bad at this point in it's life but overall a bit disappointing given the price I paid. Should I have waited a few more years to open? I opened this today to see if it would wow me and motivate me to grab a few more for the cellar. It did not.
