Still drinking very well at this ripe old age. After seeing the estimated life expectancy I was braced for a dull, washed out wine but was greeted by a wine which is still holding up really well. I never had a younger version so I don't know if it ever was a grand wine but it was still really good with our steak tonight.

Beautiful cabernet, though I thought the 2004 and 2005 Truchard reserves were a little better. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this as a great cab with a thick steak (I paired with filet mignon and yukon gold mashed potatoes).

Dark and rich Napa/Caneros bottling. I received this as a gift, and I must say it was a good time to open. It was clear flavors, and paired well with a steak. Could not have had a great belnd of Dark Black Cherry, Cola, and eucolyptus. It sang later in the evening with a greater clarity of fruit. Cherry Cola, and vanila became the primary. There was Oak, but it was not prominent. Not sure we can find more, but was a pleasure to taste this bottle.

Nice food wine at this point. The finish was a little weak but the wine had matured nicely.
