For those who still have this in the cellar, you are in for a treat! Just a fabulous wine with forest floor, pine, dark raspberry and tobacco on the nose. Flavors really kick in but with such balance of heat, acidity and tannins. Nice old school California Cabernet, refined, not over the top with extraction, which is so prevalent. Love this!

Opened today to taste/determine whether to decant. The wine is simply fabulous with a dusky flavor coupled with berries. Still, I wanted it to breathe for just a few hours (I was not sure once it was opened I could wait much longer). The 4 hours decanting made it even more insane raising my rating from a 94 to 97. We'll see what tomorrow brings. Does red wine go with pancakes in the morning? :-)
I have 4 more bottles in my cellar and plan to open one every wedding anniversary.

Very nice , many in the group enjoyed this wine. Classic California cab, last glass had kind of faded a bit.
