I seriously am happy and sad at the same time - this was the last of my Mohicans for wine and vintage and last Saturday this bad boy did not disappoint
One hour decant and wham - like the postman - it always delivers
Great dark red color - nose is just a huge fruit bomb and taste is got it all but such texture structure smoothness but with complexities that will blow you away

When @Mike R passed me a glass of this wine, his knowing grin gave it away. This was “All Smiles” in a glass - thank you my friend for everything!

1.5 hour decant(decent chunky/fine/cloudy sediment). A captivating deep dark burnt crimson color. On the nose: beautiful savory nose with leather, floral, baking spice, little cassis, black olives, stewed meat, dark chocolate, and vanilla menthol. Taste: KABOOM! A creamy, rich, layered full body cab with currants, minerals, earth, spice, and a smokey- graphite-plum long finish. YUM! The bottle is 3/4 gone just writing this review...darn.
