Drank out of a magnum, and it's probably just past its prime and starting to coast. A lot of the fruit Parkhill found distasteful has dropped out, leaving a pleasantly complex wine with dark fruit, cigar, leather, and spice notes along with soft but plentiful tannins. Finish is long, lingering, and slightly hot (13.5% ABV).

Another one of those jammy, fruity, intense Cabs. Not my taste at all. If you like that sort of thing, this one has a lot of it. (Snark: I was tempted to click defective, but I think it was intentional).

Not terribly distinctive. Reminded me of the CSM basic CS bottling.
