Corked. This is quite ripe, sweet style, old school trying to be a bit bigger.

Drank straight out of cellar, so was a little cold. Splash decanted. Big fruit. If you like that fruit forward style, you will really like this one.

Lovely inky juicy cab, loads of licorice and eucalyptus, good balance for '03, nice.
Deep purple, lots of legs with earthy, soft tanins and fruit forward. Great balance, long finish. Was worried it had passed its prime but was VERY pleasantly surprised.
Great wine
Love this wine!
Nice bottle, but needs to be consumed
Very good wine!!
Yummy. Opened :30 minutes prior to drinking. Inviting bouquet. Smooth, noticeable fruit but not too much, some tannins but not overbearing.
Wow. Brambleberry, dusty blackberries, pepper and rutherford dust.
