Very good. Cork crumbled but my wine handling is suspect at best…I’m still getting fruit. Old cherries. Not bad just mature. Old cherries new leather. Tannins yes. Chocolate..is that a thing. Just bumped my score to 94. Drink at your leisure and enjoy.

Popped, and poured 1hr later with ribeye rare. Acid backbone is the most prominent feature, the fruit's there but muted now. Nose still lovely, very cabby. Color quite dense for 17+ yr cab. A delight for lovers (like me) of aged cab.

Did a vertical tasting of trailside 2000-2003 at a dinner party we hosted. 2000 was the consensus favorite. Very soft and integrated tannins. Fruit lush and fresh- it is still lively, but should drink now as it is at its peak. Long silky finish.

Cork crumbled, but drinking nicely for an old boy. 1 more to go. Not much fruit left but interesting layers of eucalyptus and leather.
