Still chugging along, reminds me of a St. Julien with a touch of dried figs, cooked strawberries, and milk chocolate. Changes a lot in the glass, still plenty of red bright fruit left and tannins to melt but the dried and cooked fruits component is a little scary for hanging on to for much longer. Starting to take on some port characteristics. They seem to be oxidizing a bit. Probably excellent with some strong flavored cheeses.
Overall a success for this winery and standing tall at 21 years of age.

Solid older Cabernet. Still drinking very well. Very smooth from start to finish. Fruits have fallen off quite a it. Tannins very, very mild. I doubt it will improve.

RED BROWN ON THE EDGE. BLACK CHERRIES AND EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE. BLACKBERRIES AND BLACK CURRANTS IN THE FLAVOR. BORDEAUX LIKE WITH A VELVETY FINISH.
