Great nose on this wine. Very cherry with a nice amount of oak. Decanted for about 2 hours. Perfectly balanced with lots of cherry. Still some tannin left, will probably age well for another 2-3 years.

delicious wine! started off with zin blackberry & spice; as it opened up the cedar, cassis & structure of the cab came to the fore. easily drinkable now but has the structure for aging. a real find!

More complex than the 1999 which was pop and poured next to it, with less overtly sweet fruit, more spice and oak nuances.

Not at all over the hill. Enticing aromas, medium body, nice spice and balance.

Wine was drinkable but in rapid decline. Drink immediately if you have any
