So layered and complex. Plummy and cassis with a core of dusty earth and sweet menthol. Reminiscent of Pauillac. Probably has another 8-10 years. 85% Cab Sauv, 15% Cab Franc

2000 vintage. Decanted and tasted over the course of two hours. Respectable amount of sediment. Still dark as bleep. Still medium-heavy body. Baby fat gone but plenty of the impressionistic, frontal mix of dark/sweet fruit remains. Finish initially had hints of aged Bordeaux but this stretched out over time into an elongated highlight. Would be a tough one to peg in a blind tasting. Currently drinking half new world/half old world. Personally would have guessed a 10 year old Super Tuscan. Wouldn't hit this again for another 5-7 years in hopes that the half this/half that impressions would resolve/unify. 8.31.23.
