Deep purple with a hint of bricking at the edges. Very dark fruit on the noise, especially plums, with a hint of tobacco. Medium-plus body with medium acid and medium-low tannins that still had a bit of grip. Lots of leather on the palate with some blackberry and chocolate that came out with time in the glass (this certainly improved with air). Enjoyable enough, but lacking in pizzazz I would like to see at this price point.

Lambert's bottle. Mature nose with rusty sweet cherry fruit and resolved tannins suggests early 2000 California cabernet. Still drinks well, very well, but the wine has peaked.

Outrageous sediments but after decanting twice and 2 hours drank like a true California cab. 2 more bottles to go can’t wait.

Open and expressive nose. Does not have acidity and fruit to age more. On decline. Drink soon.
