Superb. IMO, this is at or near its peak, but still has plenty of stuffing to go another 5-10 years. Needs about an hour to open up. Medium purple, with just a slight hint of bricking on the edge. Sweet cherry and cassis nose, polished tannins with a nice acid balance, smooth opulent red fruit. Round with no rough edges. Delicious.

Beautiful 21-22 year old calicab. Still vibrant with great dark fruit and still some tannins. Nice subtle secondary notes. Nice long finish.
