  I was a little concerned with 5 bottles left in my cellar and CT community recommending I consume this by 2014. So used a Coravin to pour myself 2 glasses to see how it's doing? Let's just say it is showing great right now!! Blueberry compote on the nose. The tannin are well integrated with sweet blue fruits on a very long finish. I think this wine easily has a couple of more years.

  Wonderful complexity and balance. Super soft tannins with a great finish and mouthfeel. We decanted the wine for about an hour before we poured the first glass. This wine still has some cellar time, but we're out of the 2005, so sad.

  A very nice Cab / Bordeaux blend. This wine is very well made and seem like it has another 4 or 5 very solid years ahead of it. On the nose there is far more blueberry than the 12% Merlot would have you guess. The red fruit and veggies of the 12% CF appear at the finish.

  Loads of ripe red fruit, licorice and toast. Wonderful wine.

  I think it's time to drink 'em if you got 'em. There was a bit of heat at first, then it softened u a little too much. Still had nice fruit and a voluptuous mouth-feel, but nearing it's end.
