This was an interesting bottle. Poured a glass and it tasted tight and not very appealing, possibly corked. The bottle was set aside at dinner in favor of other wines. Returning to it an hour later, it was really good! Classic California Cabernet, licorice and dark fruits, earthy notes, cedar, with all tannins resolved. It just lacked a little complexity for a higher score. Very good and still fresh.

Still going strong. Left bank aged notes with prosciutto and allspice on the palate. 2nd night allspice has really evolved stronger. *6th night black cherries has become expressive a left bank Boudreaux with the same allspice and prosciutto in the background. Lead pencil shavings, nuances of black pepper and beef jerky.
