Closed at first as you would expect but in an hour opening up to become a tasty mature Cabernet. Blackcurrants vanilla and some smokey spice notes on the nose, long firm tannins, not exactly ripe but not harsh and very good length. Hints of a mix of other flavours keeps the drinker interested. I’m not very experienced with Californian Cabs but this was good!

Consistent with previous bottle last June. Blueberries, Madagascar vanilla and mocha on the nose. Medium to big mouth feel. Taste follows the nose, nice long finish. Drink now, don’t see this improving for my taste

In its prime. Fruit had great structure with soft tannins. Still plenty of years left in this bottle.

I like that wine, even more with ageing. At this point, I think it is close to its top! But could still evolve positively as other cali cab...
