Extensive pyrazine/green aromas (eucalyptus) with hints of blackberry compote, baking spices and tobacco leaf. Bright black cherry/currant flavors with some noticeable oak. Hints of fresh herbs, menthol and violets on the finish. Acidity is still crisp and fresh considering this was opened 8 years post vintage.

Assez typique Cali Cab. Beaucoup de fruit et d’alcool mais sans longueur ou caractère particulier. Accord intéressant avec un Tomahawk sur le charbon de chêne. Je vais attendre au moins 5 ans pour ma dernière bouteille.

Decent fruit still but tastes like a $15 Cab Sav.

Still drinking well but probably on the way down. Great fruit. Somewhat lacking in terroir, but a great paring with any dish based on red meat.

Very smooth and well-balanced. Medium-plus weight. Drinks like an expensive $80+ cab at this juncture. Friends enjoyed it very much.
