not sure if the bottle was flawed as the nose was good. Decanted for an hour and drank over the next hour. "Sharp" taste with strong tannins. I purchased upon release and has been stored at 55 degrees since. We have a few other bottles of this so will give it another try in a couple months

Came across some bottles at a nice price and decided to give it a shot after recently enjoying the 2018 vintage. Dark ruby fruit - blackberry, currants, and dark cherry. Smooth mid-palate with solid depth/concentration. Nice rich flavors of dark berries, chocolate/mocha, some spice/licorice, and a graphite component. Decent finish but not overly long nor deep. Popped/poured but drank out of a decanter over a couple hours. Improved a little with time. In my opinion, in line with the 93 rating from WS. 100% cab.
