really nice. opened a few hours before dinner- I was worried because the cork had shown some seepage under the foil, but the wine was fine. Still had jammy berry fruit, but with a presence of vanilla as well.

brought home from my storage place and opened. first night pre-opening I was worried that it was slightly sour, but after an hour it opened up and was nice. On the 2nd night even better- balanced, no barrel vanilla or things like that- seemed to be a straightforward cab w/ some vegetal notes like bell pepper or eucalyptus, but more mellow than when I bought it. take these notes w/ a grain of salt, I haven't had much cab lately and I haven't been writing notes in a very long time. If you have this, open one up and let me know what you think.

Really nice- had chilled with a roast chicken dinner. Light body but still structured enough.
