  The best of the last 6 cabs over the past week.
  
  While the color has aged - garnet with copper, the body and tannins are mature and integrated. Tannins still nice at 7/10 and a lengthy finish. Meaty and toasted tannins in the nose - nice and enticing.Hints of chalk too.

  Beautiful garnet with brown edges. Nose has petrol, cassis and green peppers. Palate started with cassis and got slightly more acidic. Moderate tannins, 6/10, moderate body. Well integrated. Moderate finish but drink now, wears off as it breathes.

  Cork crumbled but had done its job as the wine was perfect. Nose was full of cherries, color was brick red, on the palette it was a wonderful balance of fruit with a nice silky long finish. Only have two more of these...nust find more.

  Simply superb - this is still full of life - opened up some 3 hours after opening and while initially fruit restrained began to come through - might have been a little cool to start as well. Some cassis notes - and with a bit of pheasant a great accompaniment

  Really drinking beautifully - what was a difficult vintage for many has been well managed and vilified into a truly lovely vinous experience. Initial notes are intense fruit but mellows giving cassis and smoky flavours with really good length
