Every bit a California Cab - drank great right at opening and lasted a good 6 hours. Loads of fruit, lush, so very different than the 2000 we drank alongside it.

Beware: Took an hour for the tannins to soften and the wine to fully open. Once there, it’s the real deal, thick and full and smelly and long. (Still has some tannins at the end though!)
Good promise for the future. At 18 years of age, in no danger of a downward trajectory.

Decanted for ninety minutes and this wine sang! Beautiful, lush, integrated cab hit all of the notes. fruit, earth, spice, wood. This wine is in a great place and will likely stay in the zone for another decade.

Last bottle consumed. Similar to my last notes. Stunning wine in its prime. Wish I had another case...

Fully mature. Needs little decanting if any. Delicious.
