I found this in my cellar yesterday as I had forgotten about it. What a great surprise this wine was. I know its has been 5 years since I had the last one which was unremarkable as I remember. Great nose, balance and perfect fruit and finish. I wish I had 12 more. Proabably at its peak perhaps. It was really good

Blackberry, mocha and spice. Outstanding fruit and nice tannins create a complex, concentrated and full wine. This was TERRIFIC now, and I bet will continue to improve over the next 5-10 years. Recommend decanting as there is a fair bit of sediment. The grapes are from Pritchard Hill -- very near some other famous wineries.

Overall, it drank very well - tannins were a bit strong, decanting did help it. It definitely was far superior to the Robert Mondavi 2009 Cab Sav. (Score was 89) that was drank with it and comparable to the Sea Smoke that was served at the same setting.

Good wine, but very old school cab flavor profile with a bit of green tree. Not really my style.
