  Drank alongside a 2012 Chappellet from Napa and this won. Also in magnum - initially a little muted on the nose but gained complexity with a little air. Soft and sweet on the nose - not very pronounced but with current and plum with some brush and wood notes. Palate was soft and smooth with resolved tannins, juicy currant and plum fruit and a really long fine dry finish. Drinking about perfect, would be drinking up if I had any more.

  Not much nose left. At the end of its run, drink now. Finesse in the opening with a quick mid and a pretty long finish.

  Decanted for 30 mins. Nose of blueberry pie, cassis, violets, a bit of dark chocolate and some cedar cigar box notes. Really great aromas. Palate showed notes of cassis, ripe black cherry, a touch of graphite/pencil shaving, bitter dark chocolate and just the right amount of toasty oak to frame everything together. Medium+ acid and tannin. Long finish. Very youthful still. Absolutely fantastic bottle of cabernet that is drinking fantastic right now but should continue to show well for a while.

  Open for 1 hour then decant for another. Took 3+ hours to blow off the alcohol on the attack. Cocoa with a long finish once it comes around. Lots of sediment
