Still quite fresh and drinkable, though I have a cool cellar. My Father-In-Law claims this reminds him of an herbal candy his grandmother used to give hime called horehound. I am happy calling it minty, but there was also a nice dark chocolate finish on it. Showed a lot over the course of an hour with some beautiful classic varietal Cabernet notes.

Dark purple/black. Nose is a nostalgic throwback to our college trips through the Napa Valley in the 1970's; Rich oak and fruit. Initially tastes are oak and leather. Mid palate a bit thin and finish definitely thin and a bit disappointing. So Act 1 is a 91 and Act 2 is a 84, which gives a final rating of 87 for me. Good QPR at under $17.

Nice cab but on the fragile side. Drink up? Last of my bottles of the 07.
