Decanted about 2 hours before drinking. Deep dark red/black color. Pleasant cassis nose, correct cabernet palate with light tannins that are drying, shortish finish. Bought this as a test bottle. I'll pick up a few more. Label says "1,650 Bottles Available" Plastic cork. Found an 05 at the back of the shelf. Looks like they shortened the name from "Captain's Reserve" to simply "Reserve" this year

Imporved with a little age and with decanting. Medium-dense black fruit, good tannin and acid balance.
