Nose of cedar, spice, and mocha. Very smooth and mellow; almost lush. Palate has dark fruit, chocolate, eucalyptus, and a touch of leather. Oak is noticeable but well integrated. Tannins also fully integrated. This bottle is in the perfect window for my palate. Very nice wine.

Opened table side at restaurant. Cork broke. Decanted for sediment. Nicely aged bord varietal base wine from WA. Nice mix of fruit n earth. Opened up nicely. Tannins still appreciated. A Winebid purchase, so not sure of provenance.

Wonderful well balanced mature cab. Subtle structure with restrained fruit and soy sauce notes.

It's taking this one a long time to open up. Indicative of the great quality for a nearly 15 year old wine. Very good with some air.

Beautiful wine, subtle cherries and berries with bait of cedar and earth underneath. Lingers in the mouth with a floral hint.
