Currant, red fruit and earthy flavors, drinking nicely although no time better than the present to drink up. Paired with burgers on the grill on a nice spring night.

Needed several hours to come around. Aromas of sweet plums, and good amount of cedar,black fruits. More on the palate along with blueberry jam and raisins. Very rich still with good mouth feel. A delicious wine and still good to go for a while longer. Very impressed with many of these older Von Strasser cabs.

Drinking really well. Dark berry fruit, cedar. Slight beeswax note. Extremely balanced mid palette and finish. Ends with a bit of tannic structure that shows this could go a few to several more years.

disappointing and over the hill, however I will give it some time to open and see if it improves. Sad this wine did not hold up

Dark berry fruit, some spice. Not quite as deep in the finish as we like. Definitely not over the hill though (and ours was a 375ml).
