Drank in 2012--still great. Lighter on the fruits than the 2006 forward but still very fruit forward with taste of cherry and blackberry. Sugars are a little high but I don't mind that.

Nice body and fruit but a lot of oak on it that did not really integrate. Tannins with a short finish. Also, lighter in body than you'd expect for a predominantly cab blend.

same as before as far as characteristics of the win. This second bottle was better rounded. Not a hearty wine but perfect with rich food or stand alone

This wine has really benefited from "a little more time in the cellar". All notes said to drink this wine by 2006/07, but I think it is just hit its peak. Now I am sad that was my last bottle!

Seems like 2009 was the year to drink this bottle
