Decanted for about 40 minutes. Dusty and spicy nose Plummy fruit with mocha notes hiding behind still overly robust tannins. Should be fantastic in 2017 or so.

Briefly decanted and served with pear steak and gousse d'ail steaks, napa cabbage and fried oyster mushrooms. Served in parallel with Heitz 2002 Cab. At first it was very tight and sour, but opened by the end of the meal to an enjoyable, somewhat acidic sweet cab without much complexity. Considering how keen I was on this wine a few years ago, I wonder what happened--- did the charms fade with time or has my palate steered away from wines of this type? Drink now if you have any left.

Had it with braised lambs tongues, cardoon casserole and duxelles. Decanted for about 2 hours. Spicy, refined cassis fruit, grippy tannins. A great bargain that's still drinking really well. I hope this wasn't my last bottle.
