  Drinking past its window, it has noticeable tertiary flavours (leather tobacco and a little anise and aromas while not at its best it is still enjoyable
  If you have any drink it soon
  Colour is still ruby ,

  Aged beautifully- everything one could ask for in good California cab.

  Tasty, good with wood grilled steak. No tannin. Medium finish. A little over the hill Good entry and fruit. Very smooth.

  Deep garnet. None of the funk of the last bottle. Cork was fairly dry but able to be removed (I have a humidity and Temp controlled cellar so I believe it is the cork used-may explain the wide range of opinions of this) This nose had the sweetness smelled in the HSS and anise and tobacco. Wonderful. Taste was all licorice with some hint of dried herbs. Beautiful

  Nice. Not great balance- a bit of a bite. Fruit is mostly gone, but still pretty solid.
