This cabernet has a nose of leather, cherries, blackberries, white pepper, and fig. The tannins are pronounced and the finish is smooth and elegant. Though the cork was dry and crumbling as have all of these bottles even when first bought courtesy of WTSO.com, the wine is still drinking decent.

This wine was absolutely terrific! A beautiful nose; tannins were soft and well integrated, and the dark fruit was luscious. A long, smooth finish. Paired with a T-bone steak and mushrooms, the wine was very smooth and had complex flavor nuances. This was worth waiting 14 years for!

This wine has a nose of tobacco, currants, white pepper, leather, and red brick. The wine is extremely smooth with very refined tannins and the finish begins with a bit of spice and ends long. As this wine decanted, it got even smoother and more integrated compelling me to increase the rating to a solid 93; almost 94. Served it with a USDA prime tenderloin and it paired wonderful.

A bold nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with blackberry, plum, chocolate and spices on still long finish, in a perfect drinking zone. www.winelx.com

Big and bold with dark, ripe fruit and wonderful, earthy finish. Really good.
