  Very good wine. Tastes fresh with all the fruit flavors there. Still going strong at 14 years.

  I like it. It is still young, but very open. Soft tannins. Very enjoyable now. I don’t know whether or if it will develop into something different. Definitely enjoyable now.

  Outstanding wine that is drinking at its peak. Beautiful deep brilliant garnet. Nose - medium+ intensity with developing black fruit - black cherry/blackberry/black plum, plenty of cedar and pencil box. Palate - medium acid, medium+ intensity, full body with a long finish and tannins that are beautifully integrated. The fruit on the palate is also showing signs of development - stewed black fruit, with a mid-palate showing some pepper and herbs. Overall a really well balanced wine with plenty of complexity. The acid may be starting to fade a bit so drink in the next year or two, I don’t think this wine will improve further.

  Decanted for an hour and kept at cellar temperature until I was ready to try this wine. Lots of body, thick and rich, aromas leap out of the glass. Even after an hour this wine needs some time to settle down and open up a bit: It's very exuberant, lots of different red, blue, and black fruits fighting for attention, which is fun but a little overpowering. But then, after 90 minutes everything falls into place: Harmonious red and black berries with a light savory, herbal undertone that is very subtle. This is definitely a fruit-driven wine, but it's complex and delicious. Love it.

  This is wonderful. I let this decant for about 90 minutes before I really dug into it. Almost a meritage blend, but still Cabernet Sauvignon dominant. Spicy, elegant, restrained. Reminds me of the Kapcsandy State Lane or perhaps a really well-aged Silver Oak Napa Valley. Super fun. Delicious. Hardly a "second wine." How insulting.
