  Magnum. Absolutely delightful. Rarely do I call a Cali cab mature (like I and many others do with Bordeaux) but this one had such bold aged characteristics while still having maintained quite a bit of freshness. The format certainly helped this one get there.

  Decanted 3+ hours. It has been over 2 years since we last had this vintage. Notes are pretty much the same with the exception of the smoothness that this exhibits. Very bold and powerful cab. Really delicious. I would drink now and not hold much longer.

  A classic. >1 hour decant. It has been 1 year since we last opened this vintage. Big cab, with spice, pepper, leather and earth. Bold dark red fruit, blackberries and blueberries. Really long finish that is velvety smooth. Wonderful bottle of wine. Getting better and better.

  Really excellent. On the new world extracted side, but excellent nonetheless.

  Definitely in its drinking window possibly passing peak...crimson with nice purple tint. Very fragrant with a bit of alcohol on the nose but not in a bad way. Mature smooth on the palate, cassis forest and touch of cedar , long finish. Mature/Ripe. Tasty stuff.
  
  Day 2 starting to turn. Time to drink up. Day 1 was outstanding, glad We drank over half the bottle.
