  Corked. There was a delicious wine somewhere underneath the predominant damp cardboard aroma and palate. Such a shame. Plan B was a spectacular 2016 Phantom Creek Vineyard Cuvée. All was not lost of the evening.

  No need to decant. The previous TNs are correct. This is seamless, silky and poised for palate pleasure. Gorgeous nose of cocoa, fresh espresso, Black Forest cake, and crème de cassis. Repeat on the palate with layers of rewarding fruit. Alcohol is in check here along with superfine tannins and barely perceptible but refreshing acidity. Medium plus body and longish finish. Pretty damn good Knights Valley product. BYO @ Heron Rock Bistro. Went well with mussels and steak frites.

  Didn't take great notes. Really loved this wine. Dark purple in the glass. Rich black fruit with subtle earthy notes. Velvety smooth tannins. Wish I had more
