  August 9, 2022 - Ultra smooth from a top shoulder bottle. Leather, black cherry, earthy notes. Such a treat to enjoy a fine old school California Cabernet.

  January 26, 2021 - leather, tobacco, currant, black cherry, bell pepper, earth, and cedar spice.
  
  Wonderful aged cab aromatics, the fruit is holding on strong, earthy undertones are rich. Nice acidity, medium bodied, and the tannins are fine.
  
  Nice gem thats still standing against the test of time. No hints of brett for me.

  May 2, 2020 - Excellent bottle. Decanted for sediment, not much but I did not have time to stand it up ahead of time and my first glass has a bit of shmutz in it. It took about 30 minutes for the slight funk to blow off. At an hour in the wine was really singing. Still youthful and going strong. Based on this bottle, no rush, but I don't see it improving. Enjoy. Paired with Kobe Waygu and nothing else.

  October 10, 2017 - Dusky dark cherry red colored; classic aged cab sauvignon nose, quite floral with green bell pepper and tobacco prominent. Firm acid with resolved tannins; very long finish Drink up.
