  Wow, what a treat. Had this one for a long time in not terribly wine-friendly apartments, so I was worried it would have gone bad - worries were unfounded. Big rich black berry compote with a hefty backbone of spice and leather. Honestly I probably could have kept it cellared for another 5+ years and it just would have gotten better.

  Opened these two bottles because preceding tasting notes mentioned the wine as getting close to being done. Opened about two hours before dinner, and the wine was closed tight. Finally decanted it about an hour later, which helped, but wine never really opened up until about an hour after decanting. Plenty of fruit and decent acidity, wish I had opened it 3-4 hours earlier. Still a nice cab.

  PdP'd. Quickly opened up in the glass. Dark fruit on the nose. Soft mouthfeel with flavors of berries, spice & raisin. DRINK UP, one bottle left in my cellar - suggest consuming within the next 2 years.

  Well-mannered, medium bodied, full of dark fruit and a tinge of licorice. It’s all about the juicy finish.

  Nice color good tannins. Solid wine but as it ages the fruit forward goes away, which is what I look for.
