Leather and boysenberry on the nose. Dark fruit and earth on the tongue. This wine was an incredible match with dark chocolate! Still good for several years.

Solid effort. Tasted from magnum. The wine has a little too much heat on the end which distracts from an otherwise nice finish. I do not think this wine will get any better but should hold nicely for around 3-5 years. The blend is 61% Cab with the balance Merlot, Cab. Franc, and Petit Verdot (all of which are noticeable). There is a lot going on here with the interplay of flavors and grapes.

Full body. Bricking. Cinnamon, violets, and cassis on the nose. Dark fruit flavors predominate with a nice undercurrent of xmas spice, cedar and tobacco. Mid-level tannins, yet still a pronounced acidity. Definitely in its drinking window now, but has another 2-3 years at this plateau. Just a touch of alcohol heat keeps the wire from being rated higher. 14.7% abv.

Decanted 75 minutes. Drinking beautifully now, but should be good for another 5 years. Vanilla, cassis, red fruit, especially raspberry, some dark fruit including plum. Complex wine with medium tannin. Long finish.

Fabulous, firing on all cylinders. Agree this has years to go. Silky smooth and even yummier on the second night, 24 hours after opening.
