Fruit has diminished somewhat but still some raspberry and blackberry left along with some mint, leather and a touch of sweetness on the finish. Medium to full bodied with some tannins left. Still good but time to drink up.

Decanted for almost two hours before serving with a dinner of Steak Diane, scalloped potatoes and peas. Medium garnet in the glass with just the slightest hint of orange at the rim. Nothing special about the nose. Ample fruit on the palate with sour cherry and raspberry predominant. A hint of mint and cola on the back palate. Medium bodied with an elegant, lingering finish. This will certainly last for several years to come but it is in a great place now so why wait?

Consumed this over 3 hours and it never really opened to reveal the fruit I expected from past experience. Medium garnet color. No visual evidence of age. On the palate, more earthy notes of moss, damp leaves, cedar and tobacco. Well integrated tannins with a medium finish. Wondering if this is related to the vintage.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry, black pepper and mushroom. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper, hazelnut and blackberry with a medium/full body. Leathery texture with a long finish.

A good Napa Cab. Good fruit, but restrained. Smooth tannins.
