Wow. Wow wow wow. Barrel notes and barrel room funk on this one. Lovely tannin structure makes way for liberality and deep dark fruit. Leather and wet pavement aromas. Gorgeous.

Not bad for a Wednesday. A bit sweeter than many cabs and less drying than others.

Nice but not as nice as I'd hoped. Fresh plums and smoke on the nose. The high alcohol comes through clearly. Really soft, unexpectedly low tannins. Bright chocolate. Medium finish.

Oh my. Maybe the best wine I've ever had. Of course, I usually stay under $40. More, please!
