July 3, 2017 - Last bottle. Del Dotto cabs always make me smile and this bottle was no exception. Let it breathe all day. Luscious, coffee, violets, chocolate with oak. Drink now, doubt it will get better. Perfect filet wine.

May 19, 2015 - This wine is most definitely NOT past its prime! Open and let it breath for at least 3 hours and your taste buds are in for a delectable treat. Deep purple color with strong legs paint your pallet with hints of dark berries, cherry, toffee, fennel, licorice, dark chocolate, oak ..... very dynamic taking you on a journey as it opens over time. The finish is smooth and dry. Well balanced and intriguing.
