Strong mountain cab, this is my last bottle and I think it has aged well over the years, full bodied big flavored cab, midpalate has gained depth with a dark choco vanilla texture, bing cherry as well, I think its nearing peak and should be enjoyed now or soon. I think it was in the low 90s during its early years where it was not as well balanced. I think its a touch higher now. -S

Its just about year since my last notes, flavor notes seem to be similar but I sense that its gaining some depth and opened up earlier. Fruit forward in nature, darker fruit dominant, midpalate is bit disjointed and the tannins to mellow out to gain a higher score. Finish is solid. Moved it up a point to 92. -S
