Surprisingly fresh for 30+ yrs cali cab.+ a crumbly cork. Lots of prickly unresolved tannins permeate the lush fruit palate. Rich and lovely, likely even better with a steak or stewed short rib to match the tannins. Wow; unexpected!

Really lovely. Previous notes praising this wine were spot on. Quite mature in all aspects but still drinking nicely and the finish was amazing, rich and unctuous with lift from the acidity, the flavors just sat on the tongue.

My last and by far the most enjoyable bottle of this wine I've had. Nicely balanced with woodsy characteristics, definitely stood up very well to peppered duck breast and grilled radicchio. Not a mind blowing wine but I enjoyed it.
