Mike Grammer Comes to Town - KS version (Ripple Restaurant in DC): Slightly past its prime but still holding nicely. Warm and round dry red fruit expression, plum, raisin, port, strong presence of eucalyptus, cedar, leather, lead pencil and a hint of chemical note that is slightly bothersome. Hoping for a bit more fruit to counterbalance the acidity and tannins. Still a bit of dry tannins. Nice fully mature cab that needs to be drunk up.

Beautiful nose of roasted plum, aging cedar and earthy dried flowers. Medium body but a long and almost unctuous finish with firm acidity. This had a new cork and capsule. Provenance unsure but it must have been recorked at some point in the last 6-7 years.
