  Textbook Cabernet profile. Still very youthful, fruity. Lacks some structure, a little weak in the middle. May improve but I would drink now on the lovely fruit.

  Probably should have let this rest but thanksgiving called for a bottle of US Cabernet. This is all Cabernet in style - very primary, cassis, mountain herbs. Palate is tight and youthful. Needs time. Maybe lacking a bit of depth. (92+?)

  Superb, if a bit more ripe than I would prefer. Classic pyrazines manifest in beautiful leafy and veggie notes... cigar, thyme, bay leaf, mint, eucalyptus, roasted red pepper, grilled asparagus, graphite, mocha, walnut oil, prune, creme de cassis, cherry... Full and rich, strong acids, dense tannins, a little chunky and tart. Very ripe fruit notes are sometimes jammy and cooked but it turns fresh on the finish, with loads of tangy dark fruit integrating beautifully with grilled and minty herb notes. This is probably a few years away from its plateau, but I'm not sure it has the balance to improve beyond another decade, as the tannins are a little rough and the juxtaposition of overripe fruit and intense green herbaceous notes does indicate optimal balance for long term cellaring. You never know... this has stuffing and it is delicious today.

  Decanted for four hours. Black cherry, blackberries, hope chest, li-hing, cassis, mulch and mineral tones. Such a wonderful concentration, with layers of suave fruit. Finishes long and the cottony tannins are starting to soften, and yet this will age for many more years. Full-bodied after enough time in the decanter, and on day two this has a lovely voice. Drink 2023 - 2038.
