Tonight this was dark garnet colored, medium-full bodied, complex yet nicely integrated and balanced rich elegant dark berry fruits with floral notes turning to cassis, hints of black tea and oak with smooth soft tannins and balanced acid on a lingering finish. At sixteen years, this was drinking very nicely, probably still at its apex, not likely to improve any further with aging, but not showing any signs of diminution whatsoever. The filled level was proper and the cork was in perfect condition.
Unsure if I waited too long, didn't what to expect, but a pleasant surprise! Enjoyable blend of red & black berries, worn leather, sandalwood, with soft tannins and a decently long finish.

A really good expression of a mature California Cab. Outstanding nose (B++/A-). Excellent palate (B+/B++).
