Very nice Cab nose. Full of ripe fruit, but also very complex, with minerals, anise and spices. Elegant and powerful at the same time. Good backbone suggests that this wine will also age well.
Big, sweet, cab nose. Very flamboyant. Heavy oak, but sweet, and the fruit is up to the challange. A bit of coconut added complexity. Big... but will it age? A low acid style seems to suggest this will not be a long ager.

Herbal, spice, and slightly tannic. A bit low in acid. A very big, rustic style that may need more time to smooth out.

A soft, supple cab. Pillowy and fruity. A charming wine, but not a blockbuster.

Light nose, but very good extract. Complex, ripe, and very long. Quite a surprise.

Rich, smooth, low acid style of wine. Very nicely balanced, but will probably not age long.

Good concentration still. A bit tight at first, but it did open up a bit. A nice, smooth, wine.

This seemed to be a bad bottle. Musty oak, vegetal, and thin. Over the hill.

Seemed a bit older than it really was. A soft, slightly tomato-like wine. A bit of ashtray seeped in. Not my style.
