Decanted 1 hour prior to tasting, tasted over 3 hours. Soft muted nose, light plum black olive & hint of cedar. French influence! Soft slightly underripe fruit with a plush mid-body and a 20-30 second finish. Holding up well. Not a big overly jammy Napa Cab and a nice drink for a casual evening. I’ll drink the last few by 2021.

Really nice with darker fruits with moderate oak. Lush but not cloying. Balanced with fine tannins.

This must be a bad bottle. Banana notes on the nose. In the mouth it is weak, watery, and flat. No finish at all.

Dry, tannic, and dense. Brambly fruit, tobacco and loamy earth M with juniper. Not quite a lush as I remember but enjoying the austerity

Suckered by the sommelier. Not bad, but not worth the restaurant upcharge

A bit too much bell pepper and green notes.

Loads of plum, mild spice, graphite....tannins are starting to integrate really well....a little grippy still but starting to even out to a nice dustiness. Drinks well now and should continue to get better. Great buy on sale at Whole Foods for under $40!
