There goes my last of these 1/2 bottles. Too bad. This wine has been a pleasure to follow over the years. It's drinking great now. The nose has the nice graphite etc of an older cab. On the palate, it's gotten thinner -- all the better to accompany food. To be honest, not that much length. But, to re-emphasize, I like this wine.

Reticent but coaxable nose; black currant on the palate with some dust on the finish. I was expecting a bit more but have several more bottles (375s) left and will report back.

I've been following this wine in 1/2 bottles for about 5 years now. Feel that I've learned a lot from it about what a Cabernet Sauvignon can be. It was good 5 years ago, and it's good now, but in different ways. Now it's softer and less front-stage. But I like it very much and am glad I have a couple bottles more. Great wine for red-meat dishes.

Nice aroma. Tart finish. Flavors of tart cherry and stewed plum. Medium finish.
