  Not my favorite label by Aaron. A nice wine, a little harsh, but not socks blown off. Time with air does it well. Revisited on day 2 was better

  My wine was a little closed even after two hours, in the stem, the black raspberry Currant and Cassis along with the oak in the classic Rutherford dust was definitely there. This bottle is actually in prime condition. I gave it a good two hour decant in the stem and was very happy. My score 91 points. Tentatively if your bottles are aging well give it till about 2028.

  Two hour decant. Very deep ruby magenta color. Blackberry, poppy seed, dark raspberry, walnut, chocolate mousse, and subtle root beer on the nose. Smooth, dry, full bodied palate, with good acidity. Firm, full tannins on the long finish.
  
  This is nice, muscular, and drinking in prime time. It’s showing maturity, but not overwhelming tertiary notes. My wife was pushing for a 98 point score…

  I recommend either waiting a few years or giving this wine a good dose of air at this point. My score is based on the 3 hour mark when this really began to come around and the dark berry and plum notes really started to pop. Polished with good acidity and fine tannins.

  A wonderful and perfumed Cabernet. Lavender on the nose with crushed berries right there as well. On the palette the wine is so balanced with fruit forward spice driven red and blue fruits. Long long lingering flavors giving more berries and even some cherry kirsch alchohol on the finish. Just awesome and worth finding wine.
  
  It is fresh and it is lively. Bright acidity and round tannins make this drinkable right now.
