3 Terrific Rose Champagnes, 5 Great Cabernets, and a Fabulous Dessert Wine. (Yan's China Bistro, Walnut Creek, Ca.): Nose of black cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, saddle leather, cigar box, and sage, the same on the palate, big body, very rich but subtle fruit, mouth filling fruit, almost mouth watering fruit today, at its peak-time to enjoy is now, elegant, subtle and complex tasting at the same time, very rich fruit on both the palate and the mid palate, and a long, long, flavorful finish and lovely aftertaste. #4 of 5 today.

Decanted a few hours. Seems over the hill to me. Muted on the nose and palate. I’ve enjoyed older vintages of Discussion but I think the 2011 conditions got the better of this one. Drink up, amigos

Near the end of its life but it still had nice fruit. Not heavy. Tannins had definitely softened.
