Had a bottle in Feb - was outstanding. This bottle clearly showing its age. A bit harsh on the opening. Did improve after an hour in the decanter. Has lost some of its fruit, but still better than most. Lots of bottle-bottle inconsistency at this age I think.

Was nervous this would be over the hill. No fear. Was terrific. The wine looks Ruby colored. The legs are Medium. It tastes like Cranberry, and Cherry. Quite fruity. Almost like a 15 year old Caymus cab. Wouldn't let go more than another couple years though. Drink up and enjoy!

This bottle was a great classic California Russian River Pino. A little smoke and spice on the nose, full fruit on the pallette. One of the best Pino's I've tasted in recent memory.
