Dark purple color. Lots of vanilla on the nose along with some blue fruit. Taste follows nose with plenty of vanilla, blueberries, black currants. This is really one-dimensional and lacks any complexity, even after a decade of time.
I really don't know why this wine receives so much praise. It's alcoholic fruit juice. If you like fruit bombs with tons of oak this may be for you. Definitely not my style.

Smoked meats and exotic fruits bouquet. Dry to off dry, it has a ripe fruit flavor and finish, balanced by just a hint of tannins. Thick textured and slightly warm. Smooth palate. Doesn’t quite have the intensity and concentration of the 2012 vintage, but it’s a big boy. Drink soon. I think it’s at its best now.

Dark, dark opaque purple. Nose of vanilla and a touch of oak. classic Napa cab with some very subtle vegatative overtones. I really liked this wine!
