  October 11, 2006 - Gorgeous nose of mature cab. Olives, leather, cassis, just a touch of prune, some forest floor, some pine needle. On the palate, this is just awesome. Lovely, wonderful, surprisingly lush fruit. Strawberries, some lovely graphite and pencil lead. A touch of sous bois in there. The tannins are beautiful and silky and fully integrated. Still wonderful acids. Really elegant wine. The finish goes on and on, although the finish is just a touch dry. Absolutely wonderful wine. This is fully mature, and didn't begin to fade at all for a couple hours. This is at the tail end of peak - time to drink up.
