Opened an hour before dinner. No decant. Initially fruit and tannins. At dinner, with a rare T-bone steak it was excellent. Smoothed out considerably with swirling. Even my critical wife enjoyed a glass. A very nice example of Santa Barbara Cabernet. Still has enough stuffing to be fine for a few more years.

Tastes no where near its age: cabernet fruit with just a hint of herb in full body. Has a few more years to go too although there is little tannin left.
