  A very disappointing bottle of wine from Chateau Ste Michelle - a somewhat rare occurrence. Decanted at the start of dinner - with some sediment - but the wine did not improve during our one-hour dinner.
  The color was an attractive dark ruby, but there were only some light red fruit and earth notes on the nose. These followed on to the (at best) medium bodied palate along with light notes of cedar, and more acidity than needed for balance. It may be just bottle variation as the wine was received directly from CSM and stored well until opening.

  Fully mature now. Very nice. Soft Cabernet with very good fruit and a long finish.

  The wine has medium acidity. The body is full. The wine finishes long. It tastes like cool/menthol, prune, red currant, butterscotch and clove. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. The wine has leathery texture.
