Not as big as when it was young and past peak. Liked this more than expected and showed more like a Claret than a cab.

10' Levy & McCellan Ampersand . Needs a 30 minute decanting. Beautiful wine. 5/7 years in it. EDIT- There's no need to hold this wine any longer . Drink -at Morimoto, Maui

Cassis, dark berries and sweet tobacco. After double decanting the wine is close to perfectly balanced and structured. A great wine to celebrate a great friend's 29th and counting birthday 🎉🍷🎂

Still big black fruition the nose and initially in the palate with a longer leather finish - although young, surprisingly well balanced.

Delicious. Cherries, cranberries, and raspberries. Soft tannins. Ready to drink now, but certainly cellar-worthy.
