Classic Rutherford. Dark cherry fruit, bit of dusty spice, cassis, and vanilla.

Always a favorite when grilling steaks, and didn't fail thjs time either. Full body and smooth, with a long finish and nice balance throughout.

Day 2… much more aromatic. Fruit forward with blackcherry and currants. Pipe tobacco, vanilla bean and clove show evidence of barrique. Opulent pith feel with gritty tannins. Dark forest fruits and cedar linger on the palate which is persistent to finish. Drink with a several hour decant, but best to lay down a few more years I suspect.
