Still singing at 16 years. I would drink now rather than hold as I don't seeing it getting better and risk the fruit fading. Nice balance and long finish. Secondary notes are there and this just drinks beautifully.

Dark core garnet/purple color, mild separation. Nose of black fruits, currants. Plate of dark fruit, cherries. spices, cedar. Medium body, some oak through the mid palate. Nice wine, not exceptional (in my view), there would be better choices for 07 vintage, but drinking well now.

Still showing lots of charm. Loads of red fruit and well integrated tannins. No rough edges. should be a crowd pleaser for at least another 4 years.

Drinking young! Iron fisted dark fruited cab. Softened some over two hours. Long finish. Tannins are a bit edgy. Good with food. Lots of life left.

I really like Bressler cabs. There's a great core of dark fruit here but also a real sense of class and refinement. Fantastic.
