Second magnum (and last) - no question it's more balanced than the previous bottle, the oak was still present but not overpowering. Likely past it's prime but still a nice aged cabernet.

Good drinking cab. not a very big nose, color showing a bit of browning on the edges, not a lot of fruit. Not a great deal of complexity but smoothes out pretty good.
