  This wine will reach its twentieth birthday in good form. It is a modern, ripe cabernet. Did not need a decant. A crowdpleaser, though I found the 2004 nicholas cole camille served on the same night to be a bit more compelling.

  When we first opened the wine it was fragment and youthful. Nice fruit notes with some earthiness. Drank half a bottle with a pasta and Eggplant Parmesan and it paired nicely. However the second half of the bottle the wine started falling apart. Guess that what happens when the wine is 4 years passed it's prime. Still a good experience!

  Drink now! Started in 2012 when it was hot with the 14.5% alcohol. Now on the tail end and starting to loose a bit of fruit but WOW has it integrated nicely. Blueberry is the dominant aroma. Blueberry, cherry and cherry with some vanilla flavours. Balanced, round, smooth. Slightly sweet making it the perfect accompaniment for roast lamb tonight. Smooth medium finish. My wife usually reacts to sulphites but is fine with this wine. She has officially declared it her favourite wine ever. I would not quite go that far but it is very delicious. Drink now if you have it. My last bottle.

  If you have this drink it now. Still good but starting to thin a bit. Alcohol heat has decreased significantly.
