  Retail $70. 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc. I bought this over a decade ago online and decided to open it tonight for whatever reason. While it is far from tired, it seems to be on a downward slope. The bottle, even after just the first glass poured, is coated with sediment, an aspect that continued to the last glass (which I should have poured more carefully). Good fruit (blackberry for days), only slightly stewed/oxidized, and plenty of tart acidity to keep that fruit in check. Surprisingly, there are still some tannins to be resolved, but this is pretty close to a Whoa. thedrunkencyclist.com

  Decanted for 4 hours, it opened up beautifully. Drinking very nice right now, probably no reason to let it sit any longer, drink up!

  The wine seems to be a bit past its prime. Maybe if we decanted it for a bit longer it would have opened back up more.

  Vegetal on the nose, with blackberry. Dark fruit, medium finish, tannins still present, drinking nicely and has aged well. Definitely some more years to go.
