September 28, 2021 - Surprisingly good. Could easily pose as a wonderful mid 90s Bordeaux.

June 12, 2009 - Another great example of California cab. Dark red, very little brick on the rim. Forward nose of ripe cherry and plum with leather added for complexity. The palate is smooth, ripe tannins underpinning the fruit, good acidity. Moderately long finish. Hard to believe this wine is 18 years old. Match well to a flank steak but drank well on its own as well.

February 15, 2008 - Beautiful color. Nose is not at all muted, just the opposite. Heavy plum on the nose and I also pick up some subtle veggies with a kicker of bellpepper.
Silky smooth mouth feel and on the palate the bellpepper is even more pronounced for me. The fruit is taking a back seat right now, but I like it. I'm shocked for this 16+ year old bottle. After 45 seconds, I'm still getting a nice ever so slight bite.
Very nice elder bottle!
