Drink now. Nice blue fruit initially. Shifts rapidly to red fruit in the glass. Fell apart fairly quickly, in a couple hours. I would not decant. Flavor is nice but not enough tannins to hold together. People who like wines with no tannins will like this.

Purchased at Costco Kahului. Not what I was hoping for. Strong and rough primary Cab not much complexity. Lots of structure maybe it needs like 5 years.

Certainly plenty of red fruit and plum. Lovely nose. Gritty tannins and heavy on the ethanol. Might temper with age. A bit of spearmint and tobacco on the back end, just a bit disjointed and not in harmony (yet?). A bit syrupy too, and with some unwelcomed acridity on the finish.
