I definitely waited too long to pull the cork on my last bottle of this. While there was still a little bit of fruit (cherries and plums) present, this wine was thin and one dimensional.

Full-bodied, strong Cab nose of plum, blackberry, cherry, and oak. 6 years in the bottle have mellowed tannins and found this Cab to be very refreshing

Tasted blind w/ 3 others. Powerful CS bouqeut, fruity (esp. plum, cherry), and with some air, licorice. Cherry taste with gentle tannins, but a little thin.

Very fine, very fruit forward, but great balance. The aromas of currants were delicious, and in the mouth the fruit and oak were perfectly integrated. Black currant, cassis, and black cherry flavors. The good acidity level balanced out the tannins.

This was a deep color and drank very well. It was at its prime.

Absolutely sensational - superb nose, with bright fruit. Palate of licorice, cherry, and blackcurrant. For the money, unbeatable.
