Drank from magnum. Doing pretty well now. No decant was required. Seems to have aged well. Fruit was there, but more muted that it is in a younger bottle. Tannins were like the fruit - muted. All in all in a good spot, but the larger format might have helped. Drink up.

Drinking week into the decade. Lots of sediment needed decanting. cab franc comes through with a tannic finish. Bouquet not big but finish is good. Some fruit but well balanced.

Tasted blind from magnum. The nose had aromas of currants, cherries, tobacco and earth. The palate had ripe red fruit flavors, with spices and a dusty earth note. Still fairly tannic, but had a good mouthfeel that progressed nicely through a fairly long, mouthwatering finish. This is drinking well on it's own, but it would also be a very nice food wine. This is the second time that I've had the 03 Coda, and I think that it's my favorite wine from Cadence. It certainly is more approchable than the Cadence Taptiel at this point. I didn't even come close to guessing such a high percentage of Cab Franc in this wine.
