Color wise it does not show its age. Graphite, eucalyptus , dark fruit on the nose. Drank over three hours with 5 Guys burger then by itself. Mature tannins, nice fruit, good depth, some grilled herb and savory notes following with a tart red cherry finish. I expected this to be past its prime , last bottle, but it was really singning at three hours and a nice drink.

I thought that this was one of those bottles that got away from us. Oh my, was I wrong. Enjoyed it with Santa Maria Tri-tip. Not at all over the hill. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle.

Drinking very nicely for a cheapo cali cab with 12 years on it. Medium to full bodied with deep cab flavors, aromas. Held up on counter for 3 days. The difference a good vintage makes when aging wine.
