  Dark purple-red in color. Soaring aromas of ripe cassis, candied black raspberries, graphite, hint of ripe pipe tobacco and cedar. This still shows concentrated and smoky black small fruits, cocoa, medium (-) acidity, fully absorbed oak, fine tannins and a sweet and mineral tinged finish. Still 20 years young!

  Delighted to say this is still going strong. Went great last night with Cathy's short ribs braised for 9+ hours. Tannins from this once-brooding, mountain-grown cab have finally resolved, and the flavors of cassis and plum were apparent, as well as scents of cedar and mocha. This was pure pleasure to enjoy over dinner at home and the rest of the evening as we "sheltered in place." I don't see it evolving further, but IMO it could remain on the plateau of maturity for 5 more years. We'll see; have 3 more left out of 6. Looking forward to drinking my last bottle (of 6) of 2001 Pride Cab Franc next, all of which I bought direct from the winery when I was on its mailing list.

  Still plenty of life, but perhaps a bit better a few years ago in a more youthful state. Black cherry, cocoa powder, tobacco, fig, vanilla and sweet spices. Rich and juicy, but seems just a little tired on the back end.

  It’s not old yet, but getting there, clearly in late stage, probably declined from its peak. A bit earthy, slightly unbalanced, and dull. Not my favorite bottle of Pride
