1/16. Classic cab, deep and rich. It is uncanny and quite amazing how CSS rises to the top in blind tastings EVERY time.

2/16. Very rich and full.
3/16. Classic old bordeaux. Awesome.
4/16. Disjointed at first, this actually improved with time in the glass. Strange to say about a wine that's not supposed to age well.
5/16. Impressive ranking for this "ringer" wine which has obviously aged well.
6/16. Still some good acidity here.
7/16. Beautiful.
8/16. Thick, rich, full.
9/16. rich, metallic. Faded quickly.
10/16. classic cali cab.
11/16. ID'ed blind. Enjoyable.
12/16. Old.
13/16. A bit thin, faded quickly in the glass.
15/16. Sadly, this was heavily oxidized.
14/16. Done.
16/16. I never have liked BdM, but I thought after our last tasting I could learn to love aged brunello. Maybe not.
