Inky and plummy. I lost the sone in the inventory and probably waited a bit to long. It was good the first day and so so the 2nd. I have my '07s and will be trying those next.

Inky dark in the glass. A nose that at first is a little offsetting. But, give it a decant and time and this wine turns into a beauty. A nose of oak, florals, vanilla. The pallet is soft and elegant but still firm with structure given its age. Notes of cassis, raspberry, vanilla, mocha. I paired it with BGE salmon and it was wonderful, not overpowering. A nice full finish that lingers. I score it a 94 based on its wonderful performance following more than a decade of waiting for dinner.

Ruby color. Nice nose of red fruits, floral and earthy nuances. Good balance, medium body. Medium finish. This drank very nicely, on the softer side of Napa cabs. In a very good place for drinking.

Nice deep dark fruit flavors. A very balanced wine, still with structure and a nice tannic finish.
