  Part of a Star Wars Night with my wine group, where all the wines we had were from Force Majeure. I see my score is much lower than the current CT score, but this was just so overly tannic that it was hard to get past that and enjoy the wine. Some of my group loved it. It was open, but not decanted for over 2 hours before pouring. Even the steaks didn't help resolve the tannins.

  Decanted for about 30 minutes and drank over another 45 or so. This was the best Washington Cab I have had this year. The gritty texture of the tannins were perfect and the dark fruit with the tannins were balanced incredibly well. The only knock is the finish is shorter than I would have expected from the initial taste. I wish I had a lot more of these.

  Rich, delicious big black cherry fruit with loads of tannin and cassis flavors, chewy texture, excellent finish, finishes a little short,

  Almost exactly 1 year after and what a difference already. At 8 hours in the decanter it was just marvelous and kept getting better even after. Lush and velvety and a lot of earthy notes to complement it.

  Plush and round cassis with dusty tannins. More sweet than savory but not pure candy
