  By the glass. Blend of cabernet sauvignon some said plus a blow of merlot (5%) aged almost 30 months in French oak barrels (!). Result? Powerful, oaky, plummy and ripe wine on the nose. Full-bodied, extracted, chocolatey wine on the palate. Typical Cali cabernet, big and long. Imposing a style since 1968. According to my taste, boring at its best.
  
  Por copas. Mezcla de cabernet sauvignon más un golpe de merlot (5%) según alguno envejecido casi 30 meses en barricas de roble francés (!). ¿El resultado? Potente, mucho roble, engolado, maduro vino en nariz. Vino con cuerpo, muy extraído, de chocolate al paladar. Cabernet californiano típico, grande y largo. Imponente estilo desde 1968. Según mi gusto, aburrido en su mejor momento.

  Drank out of a magnum. Extremely young still. We had to allow it to breathe 2 hours and it became more approachable. Good nose almost similar to Trefethen's Halo. Taste of cherry pie. As the evening went on it improved a lot. If you have a Magnum do not drink yet. Needs 3-5 more years i would not buy again for the price

  Good, but not great. Slightly disappointing. Expected it to be bigger and drier for its age
