Excellent wine. Still needed decanting for both sediment and opening the back end of its tannic structure. After 90 minutes open the secondary nuances were balancing the fruit, which is still dark, supple and round fruit.

An 11 year old CA Cab that drank more like a bordeaux. Well rounded finish and nose was still spritely and youthful. Aged dark fruits and currants that finished smoothly.

Tasted for Andrew O'Brien's 50th after the 66 Ducru. Think the drinking window could be extended on this one. Plenty of structure and tannins left. Wonderful tasting at this point in its life
