Lives up to its George III pedigree but needs a few hours of air to really show its stuff

Best Mike Smith value out there. Rutherford GIII. Nice. Needs some time but a bargain.

Somewhat slow to open up, not at the level of my last 12C; went well with Prime Rib.

Delicious. The 2012 Cabernets made by @Mike Smith all seem to be showing really well right now.

Wine is :
2012 12C G3 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford, Georges III Vineyard
(Pic / Wine not on Delectable Site) Winemaker-
@Mike Smith Winery Proprietors: John & Joyce Raudabaugh. The 2012 "G3 Reserve" was not reviewed by one of the Rock Stars; but RP gave 98 to the 2013 Version!
So for a Sunday night this doesn't suck!
Wine has gobs of glycerin, thick concentration, almost a black as night look, tannins present but integrated & linger on a long 45 second finish. Very well made & really happy I grabbed some of the G3 Reserves, cheers!

Nice fruit. A bit of a burnt note on the finish. I think a longer decant would help.
