Enjoyed as a 5 bottle vertical (1999-2003) of Champoux and CV. This was the standout of the night. A perfect balance of fruit and aged character, this is in a sweet spot now but could go another five years if looking for more fruit leather.

Don't know what clb is talking about. This is a godd, well rounded cab. If you are looking for Cali Cab, in your face, don't bother. If you are looking for structure, this is it. I will adimt the 02 is primo as far as vintage. However. Mike is making really good wine that people that are only looking for how big it is wil not get it.

Popped and poured. In a perfect spot now. Nice vanilla, and herbaceous notes(eucalyptus?).
Ellen thought it sacharine 2 years ago, not now.

I found this undrinable. Cookie dough, vanilla on the nose. Overly sweet palate. Let decant for a couple of days and improved but was still not for me
