Long night, no notes. Wine is not in my wheelhouse and have other 2003 wines that have held up. Also had the 2016 and it seems this is just not a wine for me.

Decanted 40 minutes, surprising color, still a pretty deep ruby bowl with a garnet edge. Pleasant aromas though not very pronounced. Black cherries, blackberries, currants, licorice, earthiness, and some minerality in the nose and flavor. The wine is well balanced with a very smooth medium to long finish. Ready now, but should easily go four to five more years.

Beautiful soft fruit and nose. Nice long finish. Tannins are gone but lots of pleasantries on the tongue.

Nice aged Cabernet but perhaps lacking in structure. Tart oak was a bit of of balance with the fruit on the palate. Still a nice drink though.

Nice and smooth in all aspects. Silky smooth.
