Wine still doing great! Had at restaurant last night and was perfect for that setting...I'd swear w/i 15 min it was singing! And no point of decline during the 90 min meal. Adding another year to drink by date as I see no urgency to polish these off...

PnP and then first glasses via Vinturi. No decant. First sips not so hot, but by 15 minutes was already coming into its own. 2nd glasses an hour later straight out of bottle just fine. Had a bottle 6 weeks ago and if anything might bump this up to a 92...and while not cheap enough to be an everyday wine, a darn good wine for the buck...easily in the monthly rotation!

30 min of decanting before serving. Still a darn good wine. Wouldn't say there has been much of a drop off yet at all...but probably is at the tail end of peak...

Past it's prime, but some nice notes of spice and chocolate. Better than the 2005 tasted next to it.

Nicely aged Washington Cab. The wood notes are muted and the fruit is still very vibrant. Nice red fruit flavors with a smooth finish.
