A medley of fruit flavor's which did not add up to much. Spicy palette and a lingering finish which I would describe as bell peppers cooked over charcoal.
Tasted alongside 10 other wines over a Thanksgiving Day dinner. The wines included La Jota 1996 & La Jota 2011, 1990 Opus One, 2012 Pott Vineyards The Arsenal, 1985 Masi Amarone, 2012 Outpost Cabernet (regular bottling), 1986 Monticello Vineyards Cabernet Corey Reserve, 2005 St Francis Anthem 2005, 2012 Whitehall Lane Cabernet (regular bottling) 2012, and 1997 Niebaum Coppola Rubicon

This wine has lost any oak influence leaving a great mouthful of fruit. Farly complex flavors of red and black fruits. Decent length and a nice complement to a rib-eye. Can't remember what my first one was like, so will be interesting to compare to my previous note.
