A little past its prime. Not much bouquet, but did get black currant and cocoa on the palate. Aftertaste was a little harsh, with some spice that made it more interesting.

great cabernet and very good shape now, tannins are softer, fruit is great, way better than a lot of new world cabs that want to rip you up with their tannins

Still very good. Comparatively, 2002 Watson Cab was more vibrant than this. Pine ridge is probably on its way down.

Better than expected. Flavorful bouquet of black current and tart cherry. Cocoa and black current moth palate. Long, tart finish.
