  Very much ready. Decanted a few hours. Really nice. Kept saying really nice. But nothing more, OK I'm spoiled.
  
  Clearly new world, lacked complexity. But nice. No way worth the ridiculous price. Bought on release for maybe $75, worth it.
  
  Seemed to be drinking at peak. Unlikely to improve but should hold here a while.

  Purple in color. 14.6% ABV. Sensational nose of blue and black fruits, molten licorice and violets. Rich and plus with amazing texture. Notable concentration, power and balance. Black raspberry, blueberry, cassis liqueur and dark chocolate on the palate. The finish is long with prominent silky tannins. Napa Valley at its best. Breathtaking Cabernet Sauvignon that will drink well for another 3-5 years. I'll check in on my last bottle in 2027.

  Soft and lush, red fruit and crushed rocks with a touch of mint. Beautiful wine. 3 hour decant.

  Decanted half hour before dinner. Scents of dark fruits emanated from decanter saying this wine was going to be special. In the glass, dark red and opaque. Nose dark berries, mocha. Tasting this wine, crushed rocks, dark fruits, long excellent finish. Special friend allowed me to purchase part of his mailing list allocation years ago. This is one exceptional Oakville Cabernet. Special now will not fall apart anytime soon though.

  PNP in a long night of wine. This was dark and ripe, fully mature with tannins completely resolved. Again it was a long night but this seemed at or possibly just past its peak but very enjoyable now. A-
