Still going strong with time left in the drinking window. It won't get any better though so I would say drink them up. This wine has aged amazingly gracefully for a wine at this price. I only wish I had bought more before they were gone.

No real notes, just my thought, over 8 vintages of this, that for a third wine (Reserves>KL Napa>Aldin), this is a fantastic qpr. For thirty bucks, this is a great bridge spanning the gap from a cheap but innocuous bottle to a $50+ ager. It's too bad the partners are wrapping up KL; I'll miss all their wines.

Good wine. Good structure but not nearly as much as any other Karl Lawrence wine I remember drinking - probably due to the high percentage of cab franc. Cassis and cherry and oak. Not as good as KL cabs, but a very fine (and somewhat refreshingly unique) wine for the price. Will be interesting to see how this evolves although I only have one left so I doubt I'll have the luxury as I'm sure I don't have the patience to wait long to try the next one. J2X.
