Consistent with earlier tastings notes, medium to full bodied , deep dark ruby color - black berry and sweet black cherry fruits accented by clove spice and a hint cassis and whisper of English toffee on the 'Rutherford Dust' moderate silky tannin finish.
Four years since the last time I tasted this, and I was afraid it might be over-the-hill. Surprisingly, it wasn't. In fact, it had improved rather dramatically. Same plummy nose, but it now shows hints of leather and herbs. Nice texture and a very good finish. Still not worth the money (I was drunk when I bought it at the winery), but a pretty nice wine after all these years.

Not what I expected. (Compared to the Anwilka I was drinking at the same time). Very slight nose with a hint of cassis and dark leather.
The body was thinner than I expected and the acidity was coming through. Almost Italian in its profile.
