Acquired a pile of 06s and 07s at auction. They appear to be in impeccable condition but the first bottle of 06 was past primetime. Faded very fast and didn't come back to life. Just didn't get enough to provide fair-tasting notes or score. Reserving judgment for future bottles.

1.5L bottle. Decanted for 90min; consumed over 4 hours. This was very Bordeaux-like with cassis, dark cherry, tobacco and earth. Medium-bodied. Great structure. Not super deep but classic and almost even rustic in some ways. Very good. If I was holding onto these, I would plan to drink sooner than later but it won’t be falling off a cliff anytime soon either. Just don’t expect it to get “better”.

Prime time. Fully mature, rounded, distinctive terroir that still boasts luscious fruit, luxuriant mid-palate, and enduring finish.

First of three drank with meatloaf. Delicious Cab with plenty of fruit, good integration and bound to improve. Drink or hold.
