Short decant. Very aromatic with red and black fruits, spice, tobacco, herbs and cedar. Medium body. Loaded with flavor, still primary. Red and black fruits, cedar, spice, tobacco, and anise. Great balance. The tannins are softening in the long finish

Plummy and earthy, full of pencil shavings, with a nice mineral streak. Grippy tannins; the acidity is in control here. Not at all tertiary yet. Medium bodied and far from jammy. A really excellent Cabernet that’s defined by balance and finesse. Just lacks the excitement of the 2005.

I finally got a good bottle of this, and it is very good. Deep core of cherry fruit with a good balance of tannins and acidity. Nothing out of place and it is delicious.

solid cab, a little more fruit and structure than prior bottles.
