Love this stuff. I wish it wasn't the last bottling of this wine.

Consumed over several days. Cab franc really shines through and the merlot adds some nice softness to the mouthfeel. Well balanced wine that was enjoyed by all who tasted it. Still very fruitful, but secondary notes are starting to peak through. Drink now through 2030.

Filtered and decanted for 1 hour, then rebottled with the "shake." Well rounded, soft and approachable, great combination of power and finesse. It outshined the 2011 Carnival of Love that was treated similarly. Beautiful color and fruit mingled with a long, smooth finish. Drinking well now and should continue to do so for a few more years. I don't see this wine getting much better, unless the brown profile fits your palate.
