This is a definite step up from the normal 12C cab - which is, itself, delicious. There’s more fruit, more tannin, more complexity in this cuvée. This is a terrific wine and was a great value back when 12C was still around. It you have some, no need to hurry. This has many years of positive development ahead of it. Decant if opening now.

I last had this 2 years ago and said I would wait 3 years to try again. It's my wine and I will try if I want to! lol Decanted two hours. Dark and deep in color. Nose of dark berries and a touch of tobacco. Dark berries and spices on the palate with a decent finish. I do not see much upside from where this is at now. Enjoy!

Very similar to the ‘14 Greer, sophisticated, red fruit dominate, silky smooth, loads of baking spices, amazing quality, Not the most complex but I’d love this anyway.

Very good, to be sure, but not the stunner tonight that it has been previously. I have one more and will likely open it in the next 12 months.
