So my experience was different than the last few reviewers. Opened two bottles at a dinner party and this wine was a huge hit and both bottles were very consistent. They both have been in long term storage at 57 degrees, so perhaps that made a difference. Decanted about 15 minutes before serving. Slight bricking on the edge, but wine still has vibrant red fruit with hint of mocha on the finish that lingers for 45 seconds or more.
Recently purchased on the secondary market. Agree with other reviews -- soft and on its way down. Fairly light in color for a cab. Bright berry fruit and acidity are somewhat pinot-like. That said, paired very well with filet Mignon. Me - 90, Wife - 91

One of the best cabs I've had in a while. This has everything - concentration with a deft, easy suppleness, entended on the palate, rich cocao butter and milk chocolate tones. Loved it.

Last bottle. Quite smooth with tannins very soft, muted fruit.

Past its prime. One-dimensional.
