This Mexican cab is still outperforming expectations. I think it's probably not got any better place to go, but still a delicious drink. Full fruity nose with some spice and leather. Palate has big cab fruit with more leather and spice, and after about being open 45 minutes starts to display some real nice tannins at the end.

Kind of surprising to me, but this has actually gotten a little better. Similar to last bottle, but a little more intense overall. Spicy, Fruity nose. Palate has big cab fruit with leather and spice, and good acidity. Still very lively.

Deserves to hit the 90 threshold -- Excellent fruity nose with bit of spice, and some smoke. Palate has substantial cab fruit, and some leather and spice notes. More acidic than the bottle of a few years ago. Some tannin bits at the end. This is hardly near its end, and I think the 2015 peak date I have may be a little too early.
