Really nice nearly mature Cabernet here, nice nose of baseball glove and pine tar, black licorice, violets, cedar and wool. Good body, still has plenty of fruit and structure. Tannins nearly completely resolved. Nice black current and black cherry fruit. Classy finish. Prob near peak and will drink nicely for a few more years but with little improvement.

2nd bottle consumed in a year and this is a solid bottle that seems to need an hour or two to open up. Better on second day after half the bottle spending the night in the fridge. Lovely cedar notes. Medium bodied. Not a heavy weight but balanced.

Just a fantastic bottle still in great condition and a few more years at peak. So signs of deterioration at all. Tannins have certainly mellowed and integrated. Try one and let me know if you agree.

Dark fruit, tar and cedar flavors. Smooth, with a nice finish.
