This is an absolute beautiful library wine, worth the wait...any of you Fellows (that is the Club name for Frog's Leap) that have had a chance to buy this, you need to jump on it again if offered. Deep purple color, big fruity nose--berries and cherries--pairs very well with hard Italian cheese. Tannins have mellowed out--supple finish. Excellent wine.

Nose: some barn yard and dark fruit Taste: wayyyyy better than I thought it would be. I thought it would be vinegar by this time. Raisins, light oak and tannins.

Deep ruby with still a relative youthful look. Tastes of ash, tar, tobacco, oak interspersed with dark fruit. Moderate tannins. This is a 2003 bottle; maybe slightly past its peak?

Drank from 3.0L. Solid cabernet. Still had many years of life remaining (in a large format at least)
