Light red color in the glass, big, woody, fruity cabernet, good acid, nice fruit, viscous, nice wine, some chocolate as evening wore on, led to longer finish. From a magnum.

Rich, nice, riper cabernet fruit, almost jammy, from a 750 ml bottle, seems watery on the nose, grows more berry like over time this evening, nice, long finish, with berry fruit and stems.

Beet red color, older, mustier, stinky nose which slowly blows off, nice, fruity taste, still a little tired, cigar box finish.
