I was a little worried about this one based on the most recent posts that although from a few years ago, weren't very complimentary. I've always enjoyed Heitz cabs, so I had my fingers crossed.
Opened and filtered sediment/decanted for about 30 mins. Was pleasantly surprised. Nice soft black fruits and very faint eucalyptus on the nose. Blackberry and bell pepper on the palate Tannins were present, but very faint. Nice finish. Overall, the fruit is definitely fading, but still there. I'd say 1-2 more years of life left. Very well made cab from a great vintage. Drink up.

A bit hot. Nice on the nose, good fruit.

Disappointing. Came off as overheated and just a bit out of balance. Perhaps a slightly off bottle? The cork was clean and tight, however.

Very nice, with a bit of earth and smoke to balance out a juicy palate. Drinking well now. Tannins were tame, but in no way in decline.
