Decidedly not past peak. Popped and poured for fear of what was left shutting down too quickly. An unnecessary precaution, as this blossomed glass after glass over the course of 4 hours. Black cherries, blueberry compote, milk chocolate, and pencil. Lengthy finish. Buttery smooth tannins. Delicious. Wish I had more.

Waited too long on this. Ok on pop and pour but went downhill from there. Fruit faded quickly and was left with tannins and not much else. I have not had too much luck with Bennet wines. I'm big on Cal Bordeaux blends so maybe I'll fare better with the Maximus I have in the cellar. Maybe 2004 was not a good year for the cab.

Nothing wrong with this wine. Nice balance favoring a more traditional even Bordeaux style cabernet.

This wine is drinking very well right now. Very well balanced. There are no signs that it has peaked.

Not bad at all. No decant. Went great with steak n baked potato with caramelized onions n cheddar cheese. Good QPR - drink now.
