Lovely mature Cali Cab. Baked Strawberry, Ripe Raspberry, Eucalyptus, and Cigar. Medium+ acid. Great on the mid-palate and long finish. It can definitely age longer depending on how far away from the fruit spectrum you want to go but in a great spot right now.

This was still a wonderful bottle, albeit past its prime. Deep dark color, with a wonderful oak nose. Definitely improved with time in the glass. Some cherry and spice, with a lovely finish. I enjoyed it!

My last bottle was two years ago. I liked it then and I said then that I should drink my remaining bottles over the next year or so. I should have taken my own advice. The nose has some light cedary notes. But the palate immediately tells you this is well past prime. Faded red fruit, soft tannins, negligible acidity, Finish is short and undistinguished.

Wonderfully aged wine. Lasted over 2hrs after being opened. We loved the lower alcohol content that was common in yesteryear vintages.
