Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep dark garnet color. Lovely bouquet of dusty dried sweet blackberries, blackcurrants, black cherries and their liqueurs, fennel, spicy oak, bourbon vanilla, lavender, violets, nutmeg, cardamom, sage, bay leaf. Full body on the palate, seamless, beautiful balance, satin-velvet mouthfeel, lingering finish. Improved with air, showed best on the first evening. Seems at peak or slightly past peak.

Smelled like cow poo, tasted like muti vitamins. Bricked. Found 4 bottles in the back of a 500 bottle Vinotheque I bought off of Craig's List. Glad I did not pay money for the wine. Poured down the drain.

This wine, at least this bottle, is doing very well. Slight notes of cinnamon in a beautiful cab.

Very bad bottle. Tasted like "vitamin C" chewable tablets. Nothing going on. I believe the bottle was corked. $65 at Les Paul concert.
