Lovely floral aromas. Dark black fruit. Tannins still showing some grip but wonderfully integrated. Perfect acidity.dark fruit with a long finish. Lovely.

A specter is haunting this glass - the specter of fruit. Really, this wine is on its last legs, but not oxidized like a previous bottle. Dark red with brown rim in glass, aroma of leather, red fruit, and old wooden ship. Some fruit sweetness, some spice, some acidity, and some alcoholic heat on palate. The oak is a bit much though - all bitter chocolate and espresso on finish. What remains is drinkable, but not particularly pleasant.

Still drinking well. No hurry to drink the remaining 05's in the cellar. Solid CabSav.

1/22/2021 - MateusPetrus Does not like this wine:
Undrinkable, not corked or vinegar, just years past its prime.
This was a gift, so no idea how it had been cellared.
