Really fantastic. Decanted for about two hours. Showing blue fruit, herbs and vanilla. The tannins and acid are in perfect proportions followed by the lovely fruit. Paired extremely well with the wagyu braised short rib. Thank you Mr. Futo.

Decanted for approximately 3 hours. The wine needed the air. It is drinking wonderful tonight. It has a lot of blueberry, blackberry and cassis. This wine is built to go the distance but is drinking amazingly well tonight.

Another incredible wine from Futo. This is primarily Cabernet with a touch of merlot. Although also very young, the wine is showing well tonight.

Decanted two hours prior to serving. When first opened it was very tight and somewhat closed. After decant there was a lot of blue fruit and cassis along with a moderate amount of acid. The tannins are fairly soft at this point in the bottle. This is a marvelous wine with a lot of aging potential. It will be fun to follow this wine into the future.

Did a side by side with 2012 Futo and Futo 5500. I liked them both, but everyone else preferred the 5500
