One hour decant. Dark ruby red color. Aromas of blue and black fruit with herbs, minerals and spice. Full bodied palate is juicy ripe dark fruit, black cherry, earthy spice and mocha notes. Ripe velvety tannins balanced with just a touch of acid. Nice enjoyable finish. Drinking well now.

Opened bottle for 2+ hrs, perhaps should have sampled along the way, had good balance, not much complexity, simple but deep dark fruits, good acidity. Nice bottle but not good QPR.

The Nearly Annual Lyon 10 Year Retro Tasting #24, Wines of Washington (Lyon Again, Eugene, OR): This was like an actor who says, "I'm age appropriate!" This stood out for being sleek and smooth, integrated and deep. All the usual WA Cab flavors and one of the few out of 30+ bottles that I wrote, "tastes 10 years" in this tasting. It has the stuffing to go longer. 93 on day 2. Now-2027.
