still drinking well, but a little less structure and tannin than I remember. heading into a stage that's all front and mid palate and less integration than I remember. Still good, but drink now.

This bottle was not as good out of the gate as they ususally are. Day 1 it was a bit sharp and astringent and out of balance --82. Day 2 it was pretty much like I expect 14 Hands to be with good balance and smooth blended flavors focusing on chocolate, toffee and a nice oak--87. Give it an overall rounded up average of 85...I should have decanted or aerated on day 1.

very nice wine; tail end of drinking window and structure is fading away to leave mostly fruity jammy notes. drink up!

I found this surprisingly good. Smooth with a spicy note.

An enjoyable "drinking" Cab. Fruity, but little body, or finish. I would drink again though.
