Apr 19th, 2020Layered and complex. Multiple fruits of black cherry, cassis and blackberries. The finish had some vegetal and mineral notes - very good bottle.

Mar 4th, 20172009. I was a little confused on this one, and not so not surprised when I saw a 9.0 average rating on Delectable. 14.2 ABV, decanted 2 hrs - smooth as silk and pleasant, but just not a Big Cab, and not muh complexity going on. Again, a pleasant enough pour, just doesn't blow your socks off, or even change a lot the longer it is open. Cherry, strawberry, pepper, slightest hint of dirt, iron and leather (but not enough). 9.0 also.
