Dinner (Vijay uncle's house): Deep ruby; moderately aromatic with complex combination of black fruit, menthol, eucalyptus; palate is full bodied, excellent fruit; medium finish. Very nice, superb value. 90-92

Very overrated, as per my Vivino Pro app. Thought this wine was very flabby and lacked in alcohol. Not a very dry cab and quite frankly tasted very pedestrian for the price tag. After one glass I left it in the decanter for a few hours and while it improved, its like saying the last poop you took smelled a little better than the previous one.

Had the 04 and really liked it so I had to try this vintage. Unfortunately, not as good. Decanted 2 hours, little vanilla but seemed light on cab fruit, maybe more plum but still bland with a bit of tobacco. Decent acidity and medium tannins but just not in harmony like expected.
