87 Points

Tuesday, May 25, 2010 - - Pop and Pour -
- Cork intact, 2 mm penetration -

Color is a beautiful translucent garnet color. Poured it while I was making Risotto, did a double take as it really was a beautifully clear garnet in the glass. On the nose, getting a lot of leather, eucalyptus, cedar, raspberry. Nose changed a lot in the first 20 min or so but steadied down to this.

Palate - Not a long or complex finish, but pleasing in the way an aged Cab can be. Mint, dark cherry, green pepper, cedar.

I think these are on the backside of their drinking window, still very pleasant but I will open my other bottle this year.

50+5+10+14+8 = 87
