Drinks well now. Will get better as it stays open. This should be in a decanter for at least 2 hours before first sip. How do i know that, because I wish I did. Tannins are shallow but berries are deep. Color is dark and nose is light oak.

1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Many facets from my previous note. If having blind I’d probably go Italian versus Napa Cab. Cedar, cherries, and some plums on the nose and throughout. Maybe a cross between Amarone and Brunello. Medium finish.

Tons of sediment - very tasty.

This one is singing. Consumed about 20% of it on the first night. The other 80% is going down very rapidly today, and this one is definitely ready to go. Deep dark blackberry, medium to full-bodied front and middle. Almost a black tar, fig, hint of plum. In the middle of this one is where the spice starts. Gets more peppery towards the finish. Draws more of a black cherry and thyme towards the finish. This wine is incredibly balanced, and was quite enjoyable.

After about 30 minutes this wine opens up, the tannins disappear and it's a smooth drinker from start to finish. It's a big fruit forward cab with cherries and plums and a touch of black currant. So smooth like smooth jazz on a perfect Summer night. It's on the Money!!
