My Wife and I enjoyed this 2016 Cab last week with smoked leg of Lamb. We decanted it 60 minutes before we began eating. Our house was about 72 degrees and I was concerned that was too warm for the wine, so I placed a cold pack on top of the decanter. I retrospect, that was unnecessary. The first glass did not compare to those that followed. As the wine approached room temperature and spent time in the wine glass, it opened up considerably showing more depth and balance. We consumed the entire bottle over the course of the meal and as is sometimes the case, the last glass was the best! I will let the next bottle age another few years to allow it to mature and reach its full potential. I would also allow it to be in the decanter a bit longer before drinking it, perhaps 2 hours.

It finished much stronger than it started!

I would buy this wine again if only it were available!
