2 hr pre-decant followed by decadent local resto pairings across courses and numerous dishes. Nose of cedar and cigar box, whiffs of blackberry mocha, taste of black currants, smokey graphite, dark chocolate, spice. Muscular yet elegant and deftly well balanced for complexity. No formal TN but clearly a hit with the table.

Quick 30 min decant at BOA steakhouse. I’m clearly in the minority hear but I think the flagship might be consistently better than the SVDs. Exceptional wine firing on all cylinders right now. Have one bottle left, will let it sleep for 5 years to see what happens.

Spectacular aromas of red cherries, raspberries, graphite and licorice. Some coffee on the palate, spice, blackberries and dark chocolate. Love this wine! 20-second finish is carried by silky tannins.
