Very dark in color, with tinge of brown. Caramel, dark fruit and spice on the nose. Plenty of cherry and dark fruit on the palate, rich flavors with some cedar and tobacco present in the structured tannins. Some sediment. Very smooth on second day. Drink now.

Ran through a vinturi, the nose is ripe with dark fruit, cedar and red licorice. The palate is light on tannins and has a tinge of acidity with blackberry, licorice and cedar clearly present along with a peppery aspect as well. This has a very full mouthfeel and a longer finish, a very solid bottle of Napa cab that is not overly extracted.

decanted about 45 minutes before dinner of grilled steak and salmon. Drinking very well with muted tannins, nice fruit, strong berries and light background oak.
