Pure silk, medium to long finish, delicious. Somewhere between primary and secondary flavor profile, tannins only slightly noticeable on the finish which leads me to believe this will hold up for a few more years w/o issue.

Really drinking well right out of the bottle. Dark, earthy cab with nice aromatics and finish. Viscous on the palate with tobacco, spices and black fruits. Well integrated.

Deep ruby color leads to a nose of chocolate covered cherries leads to a very structured palate of dark fruit, tobacco, currant, and chocolate. Finish lasts 40 seconds. Beautiful wine which will continue to improve for another 5 years. Lovely!

A complex piece of art. Initial taste of sweet tannins throughout with red berries and currants leading way to a black forest floor with powdered coccao lingering into a 20 second finish. This baby is meant to last. A beautiful appellation cab

Chocolate covered cherries and mocha on the nose with that typical 04 supple mouthfeel. Has a little firmer acidity than some of the other Cliff Lede bottles bit has that same silky finish. Built to last a little longer.

Really fragrant nose of violets, plum. Very balanced, deep and a nice finish. Smooth and sophisticated.
