Decanted about an hour. This tannic beast finally settled down. the longer it was open, the more the fruit came out. Dark color, no bricking. Still going strong.

Bright raspberry and cherries, with a lot of alcohol pushing through. Super grippy drying tannins with herbs and a liqour burn down the throat. Drinks almost more like a cocktail than a glass of wine. Mellowed out some over 2 hours, but pretty much epitomizes high octane, high alcohol, overripe fruit california cabernet. Not my favorite.

OK, but over the hill, I think. Lacked the oomph I recall when I bought it.

Not nearly as good as the 2003 Morisoli. This was overly fruity and disjointed. Hot on the nose even after a 3 hour decant.
