Decanted for one hour by a buddy, though so not needed. 1st glass - slight fruit nose, still sweet fruit, touch of earth. Last glass @ 2-hour mark still fruity, smooth, aged Cab. Drink up!

Not up to B&H standards. Ton of alcohol. Hot. Disjointed. Gamy. meaty. Earthy. Past prime, if it ever had one. Not flawed in a technical sense, but just not very enjoyable to drink.

I found this rather primary with a strong bell pepper, alcohol, and blackfruit profile. I could do without the first two. Nice wine but not a good qpr in my opinion. I am a big fan of my 04's...this one let me down. Served with bone in ribeyes and portobello mushrooms.

My last bottle and I thought it was still showing well, showing toasted creme de casis on a long finish with our Thanksgiving dinner!

Black pepper and cassis notes. Still big!
