EWG does California Cabernets ('74, '90, '91, '97, '99, '00, '05): Started out slowly but opened up after about 30 minutes. This had the most Bordeaux like nose of the night, imho. Aromas of cedar, cassis and a touch of funk. Good palate presence with classic flavors. Good length. I liked this wine.

Nic & Stef’s: Amazing earthy truffles, blk frt, earth, floral, earthy perfume, big dry t’s; “Bordeaux like” dark and brooding, “masculine”; long flavorful cherry fin, although not very persistent. Amazing effort here, and the most character of all the wines imho.
