  July 17, 2015 - Popped and poured .Definitely fading but still was enjoyable. Too much fruit has left this wine.
  Will drink the 1 bottle I have left very soon.

  November 27, 2013 - Jammy. Started off rather well but then never really mellowed. Tried a pop-and-poor sip and then decided to throw the rest through a venturi. Drank over several hours with no major changes to note. Decent amount of tannins remain - not a lot, but more than I had expected given last public reviews. This could go another year - I don't see any downside, but I don't imagine this transforming into something that I would really enjoy. Way too jammy for our tastes.

  March 10, 2013 - This wine is still lacking balance. Perhaps in reading the other reviews we should have left it to breath for a while, but essentially I would take the words out of the first reviewer. I like full throttle cabs, when they are well balanced, but this one needed considerably more restraint. I have 4 more bottles. I will wait until the wine's Bar Mitzvah

  August 2, 2009 - All juiced up with too much of everything. Overripe dark fruit, searing alcohol. There's a crowd for this I suppose, but it's not a crowd I'm getting with anytime soon. Can do much better with $50+, unless you like Cali Cab on steroids.

  March 16, 2007 - The wine was enormously tight upon opening and had copious barnyard, cherry and oak almost like a bordeaux. However as the wine opened over several hours it developed a thick cherry berry flavor that gushed at midpalate, and had a custardy long cherry vanilla ice cream finish that lingered forever. As the wine further developed the flavors really separated on the palate, and wild flavors of currants, tobacco, and casis came out on entry, and all of the characteristics of the cab were able to really push through. Excellent pairing with the Au Poive - Capital Grille NYC
