Has retained original color, no signs oxidation. Muted nose. Slightly tight for about an hour then opened up to pleasant but not exceptional, somewhat one dimensional sonoma cab. Pleasant enough but poor QPR

I wasn't expecting much from this bottle, but was pleasantly surprised to find chocolate with cherries and a long finish. Good acidity and a fine balance of resolved tannins, leaving just a hint of granularity on the palate.

A nice bottle of wine, but not as opulent as the price point might suggest. Overall I was disappointed, perhaps more with the next 3 bottles than this one. As other reviewers have suggested, it simply lacks finesse and flavor.

Opened it, thought this awful we waited to long, then about 1/2hr later it began to come into its own. Good complexity, very enjoyable bottle of wine.

Disappointing. Good nose, then it just died.
