  Dark and rich, with a full mouth feel. Lots of black currant on the nose, with pepper and slight notes of fresh cut parsley. Still relatively well-balanced, but tannins drop quickly on the finish. Considering the age and style, it was surprisingly good. I would recommend not keeping it for a second day, unless you can vacuum out most of the air.

  PnP, served with steak from the grille, rice, grilled fresh veggies from the garden. Very consistent with previous note. Came back to it on day 2 and things were weak and flabby. Better to finish this in one evening.

  I had this wine previously while dining out, and thought there was a decent balance of fruit and tannin; so much so that I put a bottle away as an experiment. I have had good success in the past with holding "little" cabs for a couple of years to get a little secondary and a little complexity.
  Not so here.
  The wine has devolved into a grapey mess, with all balance gone, tannins in full retreat, and clumsy overripe fruits on the palate.
  Sometimes you get a gem, sometimes you get coal.

  PnP. Nice balance of dark fruit, spice and oak. Improved throughout the evening.

  Nothing overwhelming here but good solid juice that pleases a crowd and doesn't offend geeks
