In perfect shape after all these years. Nose is beautiful with grape leaf, tobacco ash, red and black fruit ripeness with a hint of roasted tomato. Basically what I assume heaven smells like. Palate is ripely tannic with blackberries, plums, black cherry hard candy and mint. One bottle is not enough! Alas, it’s all I have. If you have this, drink it! (And maybe invite me over ; )

Best of the 3 bottles I purchased. Mature, mostly tertiary, but some berry fruit showing up with hints of licorice, cedar and mushroom. Very good mature cabernet.

Way better than the last bottle. Just a fantastic example of California Cabernet drank with the first taste of my homegrown Scottish Highland beef. Aged for 5 weeks.

Unpleasant nose of broccoli. Minimal fruit.
