A dark red coloring with a hint of bricking around the rim. Notes of dark fruit, blackberry and a hint of plum. The tannins had fallen away leaving a very smooth wine; however the finish was light hence the low score.

Enjoyed this Cab with filet mignon. So glad that I cellared this wine...it has improved with age. I scanted about 90 minutes before dining which really opened the taste. Wonderful structure...velvety texture, dark plum notes. Really enhanced our meal but would be equally great with dark chocolate.

This started out a bit tart and tannic but I had a glass and then sealed and enjoyed the next day. Was rewarded by silky smooth plum and rich mouth filling dark fruit. Great structure and the fruit was fully integrated and delicious. Some leather notes and great weight. Extended finish.

Big and jammy. Better on day 2 as some of the tannins developed.
