Deep, dark, garnet, full bodied Lots of dark fruit off the nose, (surprising due to age of wine) some oak, Smokey leather, salty, light oak, bitterness, medium finish. Still chewy.
Definitely declining, needs to be consumed now. This is an elegant, classic California Cab. Nice work.

Dark, rock-purple rim Nose: Blueberry, cassis, stewed prunes, cedar wood, white pepper Palate: Medium (+) finish, full bodied, black fruits, tannins, smokey hi-lites, tobacco, leather, hint of vanilla and cloves, dried black currents. Some red licorice, and floral notes
This bottle was not as good as the bottle we opened recently. It is now noticeably diminishing. I must drink my remaining bottles quickly.

Not sure if we are all drinking the same wine. This wine stole the show tonight.
Deep, dark purple. High alcohol Sea Shore notes, minerality off the nose Well balanced, medium (+) finish. Smooth, with hint of minerality 'salt' Black current, meaty, jammy, peat moss, chocolate
This wine is drinking perfectly right now. Don't hesitate, it wont get any better than this

Drinking really well. Needs a quick decant. Great example of a well balanced and mature Cali cab. More Bordeaux like. Glad to have one more.
