Delicious on opening and improving with just a bit of time in the glass. Sweet fruit on the nose, but not sweet at all to taste. Nice fruit of currant and berries on the front. Slightly tart and some tannin in the finish, but soft. More new world than old in style. Nice round mouth feel. Beautiful deep crimson / purple as expected of a full bodied cab. I have two bottles left, and will drink them sooner than later. Enjoying this very much now.

Found this deep in the cooler. Haven’t had a bottle for a few years now. Still DELICIOUS, but past prime. So, if you have any, drink it soon. Aroma and color of slightly old wine. Still a bit tight on first opening; but intriguing enough to think it still had a shot. Course sediment, so pour the last carefully. Sipping over an hour left us well rewarded; fruit, touch of leather, hint of tannin left. No disappointment at all. Wish I had another.
