Found this bottle in my temperature controlled off-site wine locker and boy was I surprised. It has some age but has held up very well. The nose is subdued but the tannins are still there and slightly moderate. The most surprising item that I noticed is that the texture of the wine which is jammy and thick. This is surprising for me because most aged wine that I drink are somewhat thin. Really enjoying this bottle and wish I had more. Glad it was well taken care of in my off-site wine locker.

It's really nice to have a few aged half-bottles around, when you need a PNP, but not a whole bottle. Moderately oaked cab, luscious fruit and moderate tannins. has a little more time.

Decanted.... really opened up in an hour or so to reveal nice depth with current and blackberry, and baking spices. Tart cherry and fine grained tannins on the finish.

suave yet rustic, big firm tannins yet balance abounds. plenty mineral with subtle dark fruit.
