  Rich, ripe, smooth and still grippy in April 2020. A thoroughly enjoyable California cab that can still stand up to a dry aged Ribeye. The fruit is married with cedar and speice and a peppery acidity. Incredible QPR. I wish I had more.

  Classic full bodied Napa cab. Opened nicely over the evening. There is plenty of life left.

  A very good food wine. Still vibrant and big at 10 years. Black fruit cassis and significant tannic structure. Well-balanced acidity. Cedar on the nose and a little dust on the palet. Slightly juicy when sipped but perfect with a burger. Plenty of time left. It drinks young.

  Really deep garnet colour. Has the appearance of a wine several years older, but the pure, cassis fruity nose of a wine much younger. Only a hint of cedar wood & tobacco on the nose, which is youthful. Palate is about right though - cassis, and a smooth tannic mouthfeel, though the alcohol is a little hot. Benefits from decanting.

  Edit: also benefits from a good steak. With food, this became something quite different. Astonishingly smooth & elegant. Beautiful. (95)

  this was a day 2 score; opened up very nicely to reveal nice balanced Cab, fruit and just a touch of leather, more the juicy 2007 style and not the most complex, but a good Cab for the reasonable price.
