  Beautiful showing, very clean and deep, pure cabernet fruits, with some blind tasters even narrowing the location down to stag’s leap. My notes got a little hazy at this point, but the wine was delicious and taught me a bit about label bias.

  Opaque purple-brownish-garnet with some bricking. Strong nose of alcohol, cherry, plum, leather. Pencilbox, black fruit, complex. Update day 3; Blackberry cassis nose. Not particularly well integrated, somewhat unpleasant savory/alcohol back end. Tobacco and leather mid-palate. I am not sure more time will improve. Ei liked

  Alcoholic nose. Fleshy but simple on the palate. Mildly tannic. Short finish.

  Gave this about an hr decant in small decanter which proved to be perfect. Nice expression aromatically and flavor wise of of clean dark fruit with nice balance and complexity. Mature and at a good place while I don't see much upside in terms of additional development it should drink well for at least 3-5 years.
