No edges on this -- nice and round with plentiful fruit. Also, nothing really exceptional. Just a solid, fruit-flush Cab from Warshington (yes, the "r" is intentional). Good everyday drinker.

I am really confused by this one. The nose and palate are big and dark with blueberries and the finish starts to go smoky, but as I swallow, I taste this (medicinal?) acid-like flavour.....But as the bottle stays open and the wine gets more air that sensation goes away and the fruit stays and the tannins mellow but are still firm. I'm going to keep my other two bottles for some time. I was going to say disjointed when I first opened the bottle, but it is really coming together throughout the evening. I think it needs a steak.
Bottle opened a second day and what at trasnformation! Nice complex fruit (most dark but some cherry). I could swear thre was some Rutherford dust in there along with Vanilla. A nice, nice finish. Still needs a T-Bone.

Completely different bottle than last time. Dark fruit with licorice undertones

Soft, silky tanins, but still with a strong fruit body. Long finish. Time has definitely improved it.

Enough tannin to cut rich food without being acidic or tart.
