So much for the naysayers on the demise of this wine in2012. Purchased at the winery and cellared since. It was delicious with still some balancing fruit and tannin. Bottles stored like this should be good for years. Not really declining. Impressive.

Do not recall the first bottle we had of this but this bottle was really nice - perhaps the fruit has started to fade a touch but overall you had the cassis and the creamy notes from the oak - perhaps a year or two earlier this would have been a few points higher. However if you like more subtle tones to your fruit than this is going to be right in your zone.
easy drinking and it was not around long enough to see what air time would do to it.

Absolutely at the peak of aroma and flavor. Very well balanced cab with silky texture, ripe aromas of cassis, smoke and vanilla oak. Long finish. Held up very well.
