Dark ruby color, coffe, light tannins on initial taste. developed into a more full bodied wine after 3 hrs of decanting. This should be a great Opus over time. Had the 2006 about 3 mos ago, which was excellent, but, this was clearly a much better vintage. Will open another bottle 2015.

Shallow depth. Next bottle will decant for 3 hrs...this bottles was opened, poured and opened in glass over 30 min. Probably not fair to bouquet & taste?

Deep red, rich leather, currant, blackberry & lead. A very full bodied cab that will be much better in 5+ years.
