bought on a whim from a temp controlled room to see how this has aged. Sediment on the screen going into decanter but wine still pretty tannic....and not much else. Will update if this evolves of the next few hours but I'd be surprised.

dark ruby red color. Tannic and somewhat acidic right out of the bottle, but softened nicely after a couple hours. Cherries and leather with touch of black pepper. Not very complex, and without a memoable finish, but balanced and still a decent cab. Probably should have consumed a year or two ago, but until I just joined Cellar Tracker, lost track of some of my wines.

Very tannic. Decanted and finally showed something after 4 hours. Nose opened up very earthy, almost musky, with red cherry. Still somewhat tannic and dry with cherry and licorice. Interesting wine. Enjoyable with dinner.

Still very tannic, but opened up a bit as time passed. Nice fruit once it softened, and was good with beef burgandy stew. A solid, but not spectacular, cab.

Very enjoyable cabernet. Very nice rich berry and oak flavors, along with some vanilla as well. Tannins are still present, but are a nice backdrop to the flavors.

Dark fruits in the nose -- Blackberry, Black Currant. Also hints of Anise & Cloves. Very big wine with heavy tannins upon opening, flavors include blackberry, black cherry, almonds, and a tiny bit of pepper on finish. Fantastic wine overall, especially considering the reasonable price.

Nice cab - blackberry and cassis are predominant with an earthy finish.
