Wonderful fruit on the nose as I decanted. Minimal sediment. Dark color to edges. Great Cabernet fruit on the palate with great balance. This bottle is in a wonderful place. Very enjoyable.

Wet mushroom nose right off the bat, and I was worried. Taste was a little flat, with primary red fruit and not much else, but at least it wasn't corked. By night 2, all the spice and other tertiary flavors - sage, cigar box, etc - were coming through as the fruit receded a bit into the background. On night 3, the fruit continued to diminish, but it was still a pleasure to drink.

Typical Peter bottle, well done and reserved; good at PnP, better after a few hours. A bit surprised it didn't hold up better after a few days in the fridge sans Ar however.

Dark crimson. Blueberry, baking spices, and leather nose. Medium bodied, plums, blackberries, black cherries, soft tannins, tobacco, and a medium to long finish. If there's a better sub-$20 cab out there, I haven't had it.

Nice, simple cab. Good candied currant and leather nose. Currant palate. Nice tannins have a raw cocoa presence on the finish. Good balance, lower complexity, medium finish. A well made daily, went very well with filet and baked potato.
