Wow 2005! Eloge from Anderson Conn Valley Great Juice

I want to test how Vinloq’s Slow Decanting with this Éloge

Day 1
👃Chalky, spicy, sweet dark fruit, cigar box & cedar
👅Fruit, spicy cedar, green pepper. Chalky accents that finish spicy. Full bodied. Tannins are perfect. Bring on the 🥩!

The remaining wine was Slow Decanted

DAY 10
👃Glorious. Bright. Spicy. Perfumey
👅Fruit builds in the packed midpalate. Great finish. Proper acidity. Silky tannins. No bitterness or heat. Fully integrated oak

In such a delicious spot now. It has years ahead, but can it improve?

Fantastic on both Days 1 and 10. More power on Day 1 and more elegant on Day 10. It plays both roles well 🍷🍷

I prefer these just a tad younger, and think that their Cab Reserve ages a little better. That said, it was still drinking very well and was showing a sense of elegance 12 years post-vintage.

Fantastic nose of plum steeped in molasses. A sprinkle of brown sugar. Trail of forest floor and cedar. Love it. Super soft tannins.

tasted like all the components were there but low intensity + short finish over 2+ hour window led to unfulfilled expectations on what could have been outstanding.
