  With 30 minutes of air in the glass, lovely and surprisingly still alive

  Lost touch with optimal time to open this bottle. Special occasion be damned, tonight was the night! Cork integrity was questionable when it cracked during opening, but no trails suggesting air infiltration.
  
  Very pleased with this wine. It appears to have aged well and was a very rich and pleasant experience.

  I loved this wine! Extraordinary concentration of flavor, deep scarlet, great Rutherford cabernet profile, and just enough acid to make it balanced and vibrant. Very smooth. Didn't notice the 14.4% alcohol. Maybe this is what some commentators mean by 'laser beam flavors.' Even smoother the next day, sprayed with argon.

  At home with leftovers, looking to punch up an ordinary dinner...decanted through a Vinituri, was ready to drink in about 20 minutes.
  
  From prior notes: "Dark red/purple color, still holding, no real bricking. Nose was Rutherford dust, earth, dark fruits. Front of the palate was dark fruits, graphite/pencil, plums, blackberry, cinnamon/baking spices." Noticed with this bottle that there was some sweetness on the mid palate (in a good way). Still a rich Rutherford wine, well aged and showing well.
  
  This was purchased direct from the vineyard, stored in my cellar since. Towards the end of its prime drinking window, starting to fade a bit, would drink up.
