  Wildly underrated on this site. Concentrated fig, blackberry, some smoke. I disagree strongly with those crying overoaked here. Rich cab (looks like they changed the blend in subsequent years) with integrated tannins and a long finish. In a prime drinking window

  Tasted blind. Huge nose of sweet, sugary, intensely bourbon oak. Plums, berries, coconut, caramel. Warm and fuzzy with good underlying fruit but very nearly obliterated by oak.

  Tasted blind. Younger nose, tons of oak, EtOH, and sugar. Kind of obnoxious. Chaotic and soapy. There seems to be some good dense fruit underneath, but the high alcohol ruins it. Bad showing?

  Overwhelming oak. Alcohol is high. Quality fruit is evident mid palette but discombobulated. Needs 5-10 years to integrate.

  Savory and a bit restrained. Not a good value at this price point.
