Inspired by @Martin G Rivard we pulled one we think might be ready - I know I am lucky to even say that so apologize if offended - damn good - maybe prefect - 100 precent cab - I am in awe of Woodbridge the winemaker and maybe my fav from now on - decanted 97 minutes (could not wait any longer) - I thought I messed up for tasted young at first - BUT did it get better and better and better - opulent, rich and even creamy taste and amazing dark fruit smell and the legs are gorgeous and the tannins are sweet but extremely balanced - this is an OMG SMILE experience
