January 20, 2019 - Good nose of minty black currant fruit and charred wood. Medium-bodied and hanging in there. Will see if it improves or decays with time in decanter/with a T-bone.
Later: Nose is still delightful. Palate is still a little light. I'm sure this was great 5-10 years ago, but is now over the hill. That said, it is still together and considering that I paid $14.95 (approximately $24 in 2019 dollars), this was an amazing bargain! 87-ish -

September 22, 2012 - Surprisingly lovely. Cork broke up on opening. Some bricking. Mature Cabernet nose - black currant with a hint of tobacco and cedar - could be mistaken for a claret. Still plenty of fruit and sweetness - drying on the finish - medium length. Really lovely now but may last even longer. Sadly my last bottle

December 19, 2011 - Dark red color, light sediment, similar to last bottle. Back labl suggest it will hold up through 2004. This is doing fine and it could keep going.

October 1, 2011 - Pretty amazing - purchased on release and stored in a variety of closets, basements and finally a proper cellar over 5 household moves. Cork fell apart while opening, but no leakage. Wine had a fine sediment. Color is black/red with no bricking. Great mature Cabernet nose readily detectable on decanting. Palate is smooth with some fruit still present, but mature. Good acidity, great balance.
