Wow, this wine is still getting better with age. Deep, dark fruit but well balanced with softened tannins. Tarry flavors with no herbal edges. Have owned since release and opened bottle 1.5 hours before serving and it just got better through the night. Guests brought a 2015 Jordan which didn't come close in comparison. Probably got another year or two but maybe not worth waiting.

Decanted over 2 hours. It has been >4 years since we last had this vintage and this wine has really matured. Deep "cabby" flavor but very smooth around the edges. The pepper that wasn't there back in 2012 is now there. Lot's of leather and earth. This wine is in its prime drinking window right now and is excellent. Paired with a couple of big grilled rib-eyes. Outstanding.

Decanted for about 2 hours. Pretty full-bodied with rich, blackberry flavor. Delicious!

Probably at peak. Really well integrated red and black fruit with soft, smooth tannins. Just a bit of minerality and decent oak. Medium finish.
