Dark. Can't see through this at all. Nose of dark chocolates and kirsch. Palate shows an intensely red/black fruit driven cab with a very luxurious feel. It's pillow-y and plush with so much going on. The tannins are resolving well and overall mouthfeel is medium weight on a heavy weighted-ready bone structure. Notes of cocoa, exotic tea leaf and black cherry pie, this is such a big package for a small price-point. Always one of my favorites and has been so since the 2003 vintage.

This was pleasant enough, black cherry fruit, but not much to contemplate. Relatively short finish. Solid Napa cab, but nothing at all distinctive.

Its still very nice but clearly hiting middle age. Few years left but better to drink these sooner rather than later.

Better than last time. Two hour decant, red fruit, good mouthfeel, nice finish. Drink now or hold. VERY GOOD.
