Garnet in color. Nose of cherries and cardamom with the spice dominant. This wine was much better than when I drank it six months ago. Much fuller and flavorful. This still did not have the lushness and smoothness of the bottles I drank several years ago. I think this wine has reached a point of drinking sooner rather than later.

While this was still a good bottle of wine it was nowhere near the level of my last bottle two years ago. Flavors were more muted and while not disjointed it was not impeccably smooth like the last bottle. Maybe this is starting to decline. I gave a one hour decant and drank over an hour and a half, so I don't think it needed more air.

Deep purple. Nose subdued even with a couple hour decant. Large body, sweet fruit, black pepper, vanilla, iron, dust. This is a near-massive wine on the start, but thins out on the finish. Still quite tannic. Could go some more years, I have no more so let us know what you think later time travelers.

high intensity of aromas. this is definitely Cabernet. lots of black fruit and gingerbread spice. color is still youthful. very suave blackberry aromas. lots of underlying complexity, some pepper spice as an underbelly. medium tannin. a little green moss to the aromas with a touch of cocoa. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Big, balanced, and smooth. This was very unexpected. Popped and poured at Vigalucci's. A great bottle of wine that I thoroughly enjoyed. Will buy more, if I can find it.

Dark red fruit, smooth as a baby’s bottom lying on velvet. Chocolate, a hint of pepper. Elegant wine.

Dense and assertive, at the same time complex. Blackcurrant, blackberry, mocha. Fine tannins.

Big, rich, with some oak tannins. Sculputed, mancured to taste like a $100 Napa Cabernet.
