This “drink up” worried as in reality, a 20+ California cab. Opened with hints of asphalt shingle and penetrating oil. The wine began showing signs of life within 30 minutes. The tar gave way to a fully opened California cab with medium tannin and red cherry. Enjoyable but beginning to show signs of fading

Incredibly smooth. Tannins super subtle at this point allowing for a full expression of tertiary flavours... mushroom, leaves and blackberries come to mind. One of our favourite mature wines we have had. Might have been too mature for some but not for us.

This is an undervalued vintage, thanks to you-know-who. I actually chose this as one of my favorites in a blind vertical lineup.
