Had great expectations for a Wine Spectator 91 Rated Cab, but unfortunately it did not live up to the description. Beautiful bottle and deep burgundy color, but I found the wine lacked fruit and depth, even on the 2nd day. I should have considered decanting to get the most out of the wine, but didn't think it would be necessary for a 2016 cab.

Meh. Fine on the palate, but the nose reminds me of chlorinated swimming pool. If it smelled like it tastes it would be fine.
