March 3, 2017 - Initially very disjointed, with a hot nose. With about 30 min it became better integrated, lots of green notes with bright sweet cherries on the palate. The nose is intially pretty hot and unexpressive. After an hour it has settled down into a pretty nondescript Ca cab with oak, mineral, and sweet cherry notes predominant, not terribly complicated. Flavor profile like Artemis but more expensive. I don't consider this a good value.

August 10, 2015 - Shows slight bricking, but it doesn't look as old as it reveals on tasting. Integrated fruit, plum and red currant jelly, a little leafy, old tobacco and musty leather. Tannins are resolved completely. This is surprisingly advanced. If you want a foursquare example of what an old cabernet of good but not great character tastes like, this is an exemplar. It's better than my tone suggests, but, sorry, I expected more.
Usually I think the WS reviews' drinking windows are all too brief, but they got it right this time. Drink up, because it's on the downslope. -
