Bad bottle. Corked crumbled into a thousand pieces, and the wine was clearly off. Provenance is impeccable (winery purchase, temperature controlled storage since) so I'll put this down as defective.

No real change from my last note. Still needed a little time to shine. Throwing a lot of sediment. Beautiful mature cabernet. Will still hold , but really good now. Starting to show more secondary character.

A beautiful mature cab. Very dark, minimal browning at the edge. A little tight when first opened, improved after about 30 minutes. Black fruit, spice, cedar, chocolate, earth notes. Full bodied wine, well balanced with a long finish. Tannins are softening, but still present in the finish. 1 bottle left and in no rush to finish. In a really good place now.

Magnum opened by Anwar at our holiday party. Showing very well. Deep blackish red color. Notes of black currants, toasted oak and dark chocolate. Full bodied with solid tannins. Holding up well at 15 years old. No rush to drink. 93-94 points

Great mature cab, totally in the zone now for a pop and pour. Can hold here, but not sure I'd risk hanging onto these much longer.
