  Still has fruit, acid, little to no bricking. Almost no sediment. Decanted for 30-45 then consumed over 2 hours. Great bottle.

  Soft cork, broke using the dishonest butler. Very little fruit left on the nose, and forepalate quite muted, with an odd glycerin streak midpalate but lots of nice tertiary aromatics aft, including signature notes of forest floor and iron.
  
  Aftertaste is somewhat short. In decline; definitely recommend drinking up.

  Magnum, soft cork which broke using ah-so. Early tastes (12/24–11am)were soft, light and verrrry refined. I thought this more like old zin as it had some seductive fruit. After it caught some air 2-3 hours later it showed mineral and leather. So sleek. Fun. Most old cabs I have had have not shown like this. Day 2 still light and showing some woodsy notes. Glad I opened it but in decline as it should be. Drink.

  Surprising to say the least. This was in a nice place. Tannins resolved but still nice fruit. Moderate acid and finish. Slightly rustic on the finish but with good herbal and oak notes.
