One of my few five-heart wines. I reserved some from every vintage and after tasting this one, this will remain my splurge for my fall birthday every year. I could have enjoyed this wine just fine without aerating, but air made it even better. Everything was smooth from the nose (fruit, spice, perhaps leather) to the taste, but it had such a wonderful aftertaste to it. I did let it rest for a couple of weeks, but when my husband decided to smoke a brisket, I decided to open one bottle. The hickory smoke on the brisket combined with such a high-quality Cabernet was sublime. I am the only wine drinker here, but most of the bottle vanished in one sitting. Thank you, Matt. I am thankful I still have five bottles left.
You and Fawn
