Drink by date was 2015 on some boards, but this is doing fine. Around 90% Cab, 10% Merlot, and traces of 2-3 others. Decanted 3 hours. 15.2 ABV, but no alcohol burn, and very low tannins. Dark pit fruit, nicely paired with blackberry and a touch of strawberry. Wet dark rock and dried wood. I thought it was really nice, and went well with some bone in ribeyes. 9.3.

Should be perfect, but felt a bit hot. Maybe just past its prime.
