  October 6, 2012 - Very drinkable but definitely past it's prime. Bold chocolate, fig, and black current. Rich in tannins with a smooth finish. Decanted for two hours before drinking.

  March 24, 2012 - Very sophisticated Cab. Plenty of life left. This is the last of a trio (97 Merlot) I brought back from the tasting room. Lots of tannins, raisins, dried fruit and chocolate came out immediately. Didn't have the long silky legs that were seen in the Merlot recently. This was a fantastic wu rand worth the wait.

  April 11, 2009 - Still in GREAT shape. Tannins are huge in this one still and the structure/acidity leads me to believe that this one has a few years left. That said however, I wouldn't wait. Right now, this features a great combination of fruit remaining but enough body and complexity to hold up very well against a nice steak. Now that I think about it more, I probably should have given this a 91 or 92 but will stick with the 90 to be conservative. :-)
