Birth year bottle for one of the kids. Decanted. Initial alcohol blew off and this really came together over the next 3 hours. Tannins dropped. Bright strawberry notes. Classic Coombesville fruit medium long finish. Medium body. Excellent! This has the potential to make it into the next phase of life with a secondary drink window of another decade or two

Vertical w 05 and 06. 05 the winner, followed by 07. 06 is distinguishable difference with all participants noting the wine as good but the least desirable of the 3 vintages. All three still robust and retaining excellent drink ability

Found it to be quite a decent Cab. Mature now by 13 years (with the alcohol still showing heavy) and it shows dark berry, with a big fruit nose and taste. Smooth, delicate finish. Went great with a ribeye.

- Brick color - Dry cork, had to decant. Ackerman corks often problems but wine is fine

cork was a little brittle. But the wine was still awesome!
