Vanilla, Licorice, and mint on the nose. Vanilla, sweet red berries, and leather on the palate, and just a touch of tannin in the finish. Medium bodied. Soft, supple mouthfeel. Finish a bit abbreviated. Gained richness with air, and the aggressive vanilla notes subsided after about an hour open. May be a bit past its prime, or maybe it's just how the wine is, but very enjoyable. Drink up.

The wine looks crimson colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black pepper and blueberry. It tastes like blueberry and cinnamon. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

The first year that they sold the cab, took a few more years before they started making great ones.
