Fills the senses with dark fruits and darker leaves. Opened the bottle on Christmas Day and decanted for 2 hours. Fruits filled the vessel. On tasting it was sweet, intense and lasting. Fabulous - just as I hoped. Went perfect with our Crown Roast of lamb!

A reasonably good cab that we drank on my 57th birthday. Didn’t deliver the epic experience I hoped for from a wine from a strong vintage and a high price. Fairly mild tannins and a short finish atop a flavor profile of currant, black cherry, oak and vanilla. Nothing complex here - flavors lacked depth or interest. Drank over two nights and the wine showed no improvement.

Consumed at 11 years old. The wine showed beautiful bottle bouquet. The fruit was still present but not a dominant aspect of the wine. The tannins have softened dramatically and were very fine and in balance. Drink now.

upgraded from last magnum, giving it a few hours decant this time. Still young.
