2010 Black Sears Cabernet Sauvignon Estate - USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain (7/1/2017)
4 hour decant with a second bottle into a large open top glass pitcher because we do not have a magnum decanter. Still primary but beginning to take on some back end secondary red fruit extra complexity to go with the Howell Mountain spice and the power of a Thomas Rivers Brown wine. The next bottle can wait five years and my guess is that additional flavors in hiding due to the power of what’s there will come to the fore. Good pairing with marinated skirt steak as the seventh course of a tasting menu dinner party we created. (93 pts.)
