Hard to believe this was a David Arthur. Very soft. Half hour decant before drinking. Lots of sediment, so decanting a must. Wonderful, complex nose. A small sip immediately after opening was very tight, but opened up beautifully after the decant. A light bodied Cab, almost delicate, and yet full of flavor with a good long finish. I would enjoy this one by itself, or maybe with some cheese, and not make it compete with any food. A real treat.

94 for clean, purity of fruit and body. 94 for taste, weight and class in the glass. A very nice late night wine. Not a heavyweight at all. Beautiful feminine nose and flavor profile.

Popped and poured through Vinomax. This is drinking great. Dark fruit, mellow tannins. Licorice,blueberries,a touch of graphite. Nice viscosity.Medium to full bodied. Surprised at this age it is drinking so well.

Drink now with sufficient air. Should be good/improve for many years.
