  Feel this is a little past its best. Palate shows sour blue fruits, charry oak, the finish all acid. Some of the initial fruit generosity has faded it would seem.

  Deep purple (almost black) with garnet rim.
  
  Medium intensity nose of blackcurrant pastilles (the sugary lollies), pencil shavings and baking spices.
  
  Good medium acidity still persists, as do fine-grained tannins. The Blackcurrant is still luscious although the intensity has faded, as has the spice.
  
  This wine is definitely on the decline but certainly enhanced a roast beef dinner this evening.

  Classic Cab. Good shape and will re-visit in 2021.
