Excellent, aging well. Needed 15 min to breath. Plenty of life left. Smooth, balanced cab. Hint of oak, cedar, blackberry and red fruit. Medium finish.

Drinking optimally now. Very enjoyable...a bit on the oakey side but in a pleasant way. Dark and ruby colored, sturdy tannins, with notes of tobacco, blackberry, and vanilla.

Wonderful cabernet - drinking very well now but can continue to age. Great balance with a very long finish. In a blind tasting compared favorably to the '00 Opus 1.
