A nice aged Cab. Minimal sediment but the wine had a hint of cloudiness. Still plenty of fruit, touch of pleasant vegetal note, oak influence is there as well. Still drinking well but I don't think there will be any much improvement with further age.

A bottle brought up in somebody else's cellar. Really more like a basement with no humidity control. Dry crumbly cork was the damage done.
Garnet core and bricked at the rim. A bit cloudy, too. This bottle cotained a wine to drink with your eyes closed. 2
Nosing revealing some promise. Nicely developed and nothing poking out to offend. Good complexity and totally modern. 12
Easy drinking and still in my window for Napa age. Nice medium body and acidity and just enough structure left to hold up the flavors of black plums and berries, licorice, tar, mint, cocoa and a bit of new leather. Stingy tasting size pours as there were a few of us drinking, but everybody revisited. 17
Finish was long and pleasant with some evolution as it faded. Technically this bottle was free to me, so OUTSTANDING qpr and luckily the Genie was freed from the bottle just in time last night. 8
I know that the math doesn't work, but low score on appearance wasn't really the wine's fault...

Outstanding wine. Well balanced, soft tannins. Perfectly drinking right now. Decanted an hour.

Still drinking well, but probably getting close to drink up time.
