  Nose showing tertiary signs of leather, sawdust. Still has ripe fruit on the palate. But the alcohol really comes through, throwing the wine out of balance. Dry, short finish.

  This bottle, cork and capsule were in superb condition. This was in a beautiful spot and definitely over-delivered for a 23 year old California Cabernet. The tannins were well resolved, but still supported the fruit, which contained a nice mix of fresh cassis and more mature notes of leather and earth. No overt oak that i noted backin 2000. Velvety texture, with excellent length.

  Tannins a bit hard and cover the fruit a bit. Not a bad bottle of wine. Don't think this wine will improve with time. Drink up!

  Dark purple. Big, rich and ripe. Hedonistic and structured. A bit too much oak, but it will probably be integrated within the copious amounts of fruit.
