We were advised to decant and we were glad we did. The 2009 is a big cab! Flavors are coming into focus after 1 hour: at first I detected spicy, peppery, woody notes and now we taste currant and smell vanilla. It is definitely mellowing out, yummy. It's getting hard to save for our lamb dinner. I'd put this in my cellar again.

Great CA Cab! Full bodied, of course, but really smooth and not harsh at all!
