Very dark red color. PNP, drank 2 glasses over 2 hours. Nose was nice with dark red fruit and cassis, graphite and dust. The palate has faded somewhat, the oak is a bit more dominant at this point with mostly dark fruits, tobacco, dust and wood with integrated tannins. This was a good time to finish the last bottle.

before decanting it was very tart - mouth puckeringly so. But after decanting it mellowed significantly with prominent but much more manageable tannins.

Classic Rutherford fruit / dirt. Big, juicy Cali cab - age has added balance and secondary flavors of smoke, spice and evolved fruits. Very nice.

Past it's prime, flabby and out of balance.
