Dark maroon color. Full bodied wine. Nose of earth, cedar, barnyard, and some licorice. Flavors tasted like earth, and something that I'm guessing would be like a barnyard tastes (It sure isn't fruity). It had a nice mouthfeel, but the finish was marred by huge mouth drying tannins, and acidity that would make your tounge and cheeks tingle. We're going to hold on to our other bottle for several years before opening that one. It's just not ready now.

Glad I waited this long. Opened two bottles. Nicely aged. No tannin and very round. Everyone was appreciative.

Drinking wonderful right now... Pretty tannic upon opening but mellowed out over an hour. Went perfect with the Filet.

Made a mistake opening this one. We should have waited. But it adds evidence this is Very Good and can still get better.

Very good Cab. i would think it would be getting to its peak now. But it might be worth waiting.
