Decanted 1.5 hours. Graphite, vanilla some cassis and blackberry on the nose. Dark fruit, though as others have said, somewhat faded. Great balance. Paired well with a lasagna. The finish has almost sweet blackberry and is nice and long.

WOW.!!! Still showing absolutely fantastic, perfect time to drink. Smooth supple beautifully balanced and showing no signs of age. Fruit, acidity and supple tannins make this a seamless wine from a consistent high quality producer.

Deep garnet color. Big nose with red plumb, slight tobacco and mildly smokey. Leather aroma also present. Tastes amazing. Very smooth, very soft tannins. Rich flavor with a lot of depth. Tasted great right after opening, but developed more flavor after decanting for about an hour.

Is beginning to lose some of the fruit flavor up front. Drink now.

Prototypical 2005 vintage cab. Terribly disjointed and harsh. Very, very overpriced at $100 retail. Probably a $35 value.
