Light color; still has fruity nose; lightly sweet, sour cherries; must; smoke and integrated tannin; light bodied; mild heat on end. Smoother than the last time I had it (4 months ago).

vintage 2003: bought a case 2004 and forgot about in basement. (Current exploring more wine and blend). Had another one today. Note consistent with previous. Nice nose, fruity. Medium to full bodied. Tannin is noticable but much more integrated. Not harsh like some newer Cabs. Sweet after few quaffs. Light heat on end. Dark berries. Lush. Very drinkable. Very good with food. I like it. Don't tlet the price fool you. Good stuff. Not sure about the newer vintage but if you have room to spare, buy a case and let it sit for 3-4+ yrs.
