very nice aged Cali cab, Robt thought not enough body, but that is because he drinks current release cabs with less age and more alcohol/fruit etc... this was perfect for me with lots of character, some apricot pit to challenge the fruit (a la some Shiraz I have had in past), great acidity and structure and mellowed tannins alongside ample fruit and spice... lovely

Good bottle. Smooth tannins which I like
Smooth and showing a little age, but still very very good

Decanted a properly stored bottle. Just beautiful. Such a shame this elegant style of CA cab is out of favor. 12.8%

Decanted. Poorly stored (a deal gift wine), but still nice. Old school CA cab, how I miss you.
