#2 in a blind tasting by the slightest of margins. Drinking beautifully now. 2 hour ++ decant to open up. Well worth the wait!!

10' Gandona Cabernet. I had this about a year ago. Wasn't overly impressed. This is tasting so much better now! Black raspberry, sweet black currant, smoking pipe. All things black! Nice length… It's going to be better in a few years. Very enjoyable. Philippe is just hitting home runs👍 Late dinner. Brought the bottle from home.

10' This is a massive wine. Big black fruits. The tannins were slightly too much for me. I think a longer decanting would've helped tremendously. I'll revisit this again soon. Just my opinion… I don't know if this is a wine you would hold for 10 years.

Drank well. Started out fruity but minerals came in after about an hour to make it a well balanced wine with a nice, lingering finish.

Has all the components to be a very good wine but a bit disjointed at this point.
