  Really singing now. Decanted for 3-4 hours prior to drinking with flank steak, corn, mashed potatoes. Cherry, kirsch, cocoa nibs. The more feminine wine to the muscular SLV. I gave up my SLWC club shipments a few years ago, but this is a good reminder of what this winery is able to produce.

  Big US Cab glas. 3h aerated, no decant needed. From 16-20C.
  
  Pre dinner with cheese and 17C 1h decant. Would rated 90 as it was ok, thin on backbone and acidity, but not more..
  
  … 3h aerated, big T bone bbq, and 18-20C. A lovely one. Really good with the dark berries but not to black nor licorice. More elegant and fruity.
  
  Aerate for 3h, big glas is good, rather above 18C than below. Great With red meat. 92++

  Wow. Drinkable w/o decanting and got better from there. Silky smooth tannins, fruit, secondary and some tertiary flavors. Happy there is another bottle to savor in the future.

  Quite nice. Opened and decanted for 1 hour. Ready now, but we’ll save another for a few years. Lots of dark berry, cacao, coffee, anise, sweet earth on the nose. Soft tannins. Great full mouthfeel. Long silky finish. Great Napa Cabernet.
