Wine was remarkably fresh and still showing a wonderful berry, almost jammy nose. Strawberries and passion fruit on the palate. Backbone fading fast. Drink now as I doubt it will make it through the year.

What a difference a year (or two) makes. Twi years ago this was still showing a good nost with bing cherry and cigar box on the nose. I remember it opening nicely into a classic aged California 100% cab. Just dead now. Nice, if light, cherry color belies a dead soldier.

Still sturdy. Black cherry. Surprisingly firm backbone for its age. Not much nose on opening. Did not decant.
