  Nice rounded with diminished tannins. Slightly smokey and a touch of blackberry fruit left. Delightful but trending to the end.

  Wonderful wine. Beautiful wine and perfectly aged. Well balanced and tannins were smooth. Definitely close to the end of its prime.

  I love this because I like gentle older Cab, and at an 06 in 17 it is just that!

  10+ years of age seemed long enough. Very closed in upon first opening. Color is medium red with brick at the rim. Bouquet upon glass pour was closed in, but gave hints of classic cabernet. Significant "legs" gave the hint of full, smooth mouth-feel to come. Let breathe while preparing wedge salad, roast potatoes and prime NY strip. Upon tasting, found Cyrus to be smooth, in it's prime, but short on fruit and depth. Paired excellently with steak. It's a very, very good wine from a somewhat challenged vintage, but I question it's relative value. I like this wine, but wouldn't pay the price to get more.
