90 Points

Thursday, May 27, 2004 - The night I opened this it came across as a bit thin and astringent, albeit with a nice, elegant palate. The second night however, it was much improved. The tannins had rounded out, and were well balanced by bright acidity. It was still an elegant, refined wine, but with clearly defined flavors of iodine, shoe polish, currants, and plum. Nice mouthfeel and finish. Clearly not a blockbuster '94 California cabernet, this is an enjoyable wine that seems to have come into it's own and developed some complexity. It should hold, and perhaps even improve, for another five to ten years.
