Dark purple. Gorgeous nose of licorice, anise, cassis, spice and hints of cedar. Medium+ bodied with firm tannins of excellent quality, ripe but not jammy fruit and lively acidity. Long aftertaste. Excellent cab combining balance and opulence. Very versatile and user friendly. Could gain further in roundness if cellared for 2 to 5 more years.

for many WOTN, very complex, dark color, great fruit with cherries, berries and lots of spices that reveal subtle hints of its real potential after 4 hours of breathing, then wow!

Pretty standard middle of the road Cab. Prefer some other Milbrandt wines better from this time frame.

Nice enough cab, but not really much going on, and a bit rough in the mid palate. Would expect this to be smoother at this age.
