Stunning. No detailed notes. Aromatic nose. Stylistically medium bodied. Not gamey. Slight but not distracting sweetness.

I don't comment on many wines anymore, but this one warranted it. Beautiful PnP. Aromas? Yep. Resolution on the palate? Mostly.

For a 10-15 year old cab that was likely a tight version of a fruit bomb back when it was released, this is showing a great deal of elegance.

With more time in the glass, it does tighten up a bit. So, cellar for a few years, or vigorously decant. My two cents.

PnP. Beautiful. Flowery perfume, with just a hint of earthiness on the nose. On the palate, it's a little clipped on the finish at present, which keeps my score down.

Haven't had contact with them for years, but shall give them a ring. I went to the U of M for a short period, a long while back, when they had good football.
