Brought from 53 degree cellar, decanted 2 hrs, drank over 4 hrs. Nose was flowery, with hints of minerals and graphite, on the palate there was a Bordeaux like structure of fruit, minerals, earth, nice balance,and good acidity, tannins are mostly integrated and this ready for consumtion. Nice food wine!

Not really my thing, but it's a big...even massive wine, incredibly fruit forward, as in sour cherry and blackberry flavored alcohol with a lot of acid. This being said, it is made ok. No real flaws because it was clearly made as a FRUIT BOMB. Also, I tasted a little Rutherford type earthiness behind all the fruit. Again, it's really acidic, especially for being eight years old.

Give this baby some air!! Tight nose and extremely high in OH, but gets better with air and time. Nice strawberry fruit and solid finish.

A bit disappointing and one dimensional.

Fruit forward, mild tannins, wonderful mouth feel and finish. Even my non-Cab drinking spouse enjoyed this one.
