medium garnet in color with aromas of leather and white pepper, and a touch of cinnamon. Nice balanced medium weight smooth mouthfeel, tannins are fully integrated, dried prunes, black currant transition to a lingering dark chocolate and tobacco finish. This wine is perfect now, wouldn't wait more than another year to drink, no decanting necessary, just brief airing out in the glass.

This was the cabernet that made me love cabernet. It's still great (although perhaps not the world-changer it was two years ago). The extra age makes it more mature and, well, aged (bricking, some old Bordeaux flavors) than it was, but still pretty rich and very satisfying. Drink now.

- Garnet color with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish - Rich with deep plum flavors and cherry accents. Great mouthfeel and long finish. Probably at its peak now. Wonderful value

Solid wine that has aged well. Good balance of (dark and red) fruit and acid.

Savory and well balanced. Drinks way above its price point.
