Still drinking well. Smooth medium body cab. The second of three wines at an NYE party, served between two much more high end wines. Everyone at the party liked it.

From Magnum. I last had this in the 2002 vintage. The rumor back then was that this was made from 2nd or 3rd fruit that Harlan sold off. Thought I'd pick up this bottle to try again. 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Not decanted and only lightly sedimented. Crimson color. This was a smokey wine with oak and plum notes. Medium to full bodied. The tannins seemed to be integrated and I would suggest drinking now. 90 points.

Best on Day 2, this was decent but a bit oaky.

Not bad. Just not all that good. It was fine with meatloaf.

Meh. Fairly average wine, especially given the vintage. Medium body with minimal fruit and finish. Smooth, but boring. 88-89
