Dark purple with some fading at the rim. Fruit is still quite noticeable, more cherry and currant. Tannins are still present, provide nice structure and support. More robust at 15 years than I would have expected given the reviews.

Watery and rather thin, this cabernet is nothing worth describing aside from those two notes. Non offensive but then .... nothing. Medicocre at best and that is from someone who loves older wine. Move on !!!

Brooding dark fruit and blackberry jam on the nose. Hints of asphalt, tar, forest floor, and mushrooms emerge to round out a wonderful bouquet. On the palate, stunning red fruits are supported by refreshing acidity and flawlessly integrated tannins. This perfectly balanced wine lingers on for a 45 second finish. Drinking at peak, but with structure to hold for a few more years. Exceptional wine; wish I had more.
