Tart, bright, crisp and earthy, with a strong, herbal, cedar and leafy component. Medium-full bodied, the wine is better on the nose than the palate. Lovers of this style of less ripe, old school, classic Cabernet Sauvignon will like this more than I did.

Tasted like an old Bordeaux, smooth and polished. Dark color would have made me guess a much younger wine. Probably recommend drinking sooner rather than later. Excellent

Agree that this should be consumed. One this night it drank quite well for 3-4 hours. The smoke blew off some and the medium body dark currant came out. I like smooth, older, classic CS based wines from Napa.

Showing well but past peak. Drink up as it certainly won't get better from here.
