  California Cabernet dinner (Annabelle's Kitchen, Calgary): Maturing medium+ colour. Cherry, iron, menthol nose. Medium weight, maturing, ripe berries and leather. Very long and smoothly tannic. In a very good spot now. As the night progressed this got a very prominent graphite pencil odour and I liked it less.

  Found this gem way back in the cellar. Recalled I was purchasing these from WineBid back in 2008 for the measly sum of $35! Nobody wanted the 1998 vintage (El Nino year), but Randy Dunn will put his best wine on his label regardless. Popped and poured, color was dark garnet in glass just slight browning at rim. Nose red fruits- plum and currants. Leather and tertiary components of aged Cabernet came forth. Wife and I enjoyed this with a grilled NY steak smothered in sauteed mushrooms.

  This was one of the better wines tasted at the Wineberserker DiFara's pizza offline on Fat Tuesday. No notes, but I (and others) really enjoyed this.

  If you like well aged wines, this is for you. Tannins are gone as would be expected but there is an abundance of fruit left. Highlighted by primary flavors of raspberry and blackberry, augmented by secondary leather and clove. Full bodied with great color still. An interesting kickoff to a long OTBN weekend.
