If you still have this in your cellar, drink it! Popped and poured, and it is beautiful. Still has a solid structure, but well integrated. Dark red fruit and baking spices on the nose, with hints of anise and light tar. In the mouth, it's pie cherry and cassis, with just enough acid to get your mouth watering and to balance the smooth tannins and fruit. Finish is long, with smooth leather notes. Beautifully integrated and delicious. Sorry that this is the last one we have.

Drinking nicely. Plenty of fruit bit structured. I'd say it's probably plateaued so drink em if you got em. Stored properly. Soft cork but it came out in one piece. Grade of B+ almost A-.

This one has aged nicely drinking quite well balanced and with a medium nose. The finish is starting to taper off now and i would think this is the right time to be uncorking remaining 2010s.

Fine $25 Spring Mountain district Cabernet. Good as $40+. Sharp, mid-dark garnet; smokey, mint, ripe grape (13.9 alc.), jam nose; mid-body; good extract; long semi-chewy finish; a little hot.

Similar to previous notes. Dark garnet; mint, cassis, berry nose; mid-body; good extract; semi-chewy; a little hot on the finish.
