Nose of chocolate, dark fruit, and tapenade. Deep fruit with this cloying sweetness on the tongue. Relaxed but noticeable tannins. Acidic but not distracting. Fruit and acid balance the alcohol. Very nice.
The olive smell was prominent on the nose but in a very good way. A really nice wine.
It was better on my first glass than the next night, so I think this is drinking well now, but probably for a few more years as well.

Good solid cab. Not special, but very likable. Not overly tannic, still plenty of dark fruit. Didn’t get much Rutherford dust at this age.
