  Not bad for 23 years old.
  Dark ruby color, no amber.
  Dusty minerality aroma when first opened, becoming more fruit-like in a medicinal way.
  Tart on the tongue, very very light tannins.
  Plenty of fruit left, red berry and cherry flavors. Simple, not much structure or complexity to it.
  Nice long finish going from fruit to oak to minerals.

  Past its prime for sure. About half the wine it was 4 years ago.

  Fruit has matured. Currant, olive, earth notes. Good finish and very smooth. Dark red with color holding to the edges. This wine is on the downward slope but holding up nicely if you like aged cab.

  Very well balanced with a fruity nose when let sit to open up for about 45 min. Not as much oak as I would have expected but a nice smooth drinking cab.

  Retail ~$20-25. Had this after dinner with one of the owners at our local BYOB restaurant. The previous bottle of this wine was rather austere and vegetal. This was one was far better. Dark black fruit with an faint freshly brewed coffee on the nose. The coffee/mocha persisted on the palate, making this a very interesting wine. Very Good. 89 points.
