A great Washington cab in its prime that has it all (someone before me used the term "fully integrated" which I agree with and believe best describes this wine.)

I highly recommend collaring this bottle for another couple of years. If you can't, or can't resist, I'd decant it at least several hours, and ideally a full day, in advance. As it is right now, on opening there's a great core of dried cherry and plum with spice notes that is dominated by tannins. After some time, the tannins soften and balance the fruit and other flavors really nicely. I'm really looking forward to opening my next bottle in a few years.

Really well integrated, but plenty of life left. Lots of red and black fruit, leather, tobacco, and some oak. Lengthy finish.
