(pnp) Complex layering mid palate was like a train wreck first off. With air, this gradually unfolded into an elegant integration of dark crushed fruits and nicely balanced top to bottom.

Losing its punch. Tannins are barely noticeable. Absence aroma of any kind. on the palate very bland. Nothing like my last bottle that I drank two years ago.

This wine is drinking well. Nice color. Faint cherry and other red fruits on the nose. Light cherry, red current and a hint of vanilla on the palate. Tannins are there but are soft. A medium finish.

Big complex Cali Cab with excellent balance. Lots of black fruits and soft supple tannins. Well integrated, this wine is drinking very well. It can be held but I don't think it can or will get better than it is right now.
