Decades of Decadence - "The 9's" (Buellton, CA): Aromas of leather glove, seeming whiff of TCA that seemed to integrate, cassis, clove, and cassis. Nice elegance with depth of earth, spices and florals. Giving nice tertiary pleasure with pleasant supporting fruit.

Very nice, still pleasant fruit if not a little thin, soft tannins. Definitely on the downslope, but still a very nice older cab. with BBQ steak, grilled squach and a mixed salad.

Decades of Decadence -- the '9' Edition (Our Favorite Spot in Buellton, CA): A faded beauty, understandably not giving much direct pleasure at this point, but the remnants of the acid and the fruit do convey the inherent quality to good effect.

From an under-rated vintage this is drinking very well right now. Was excellent last night with a hearty chicken soup/stew.
Very nice cedary bouquet and long, well balanced flavors. On the elegant side with only 12.9% alcohol.
This was a very pleasant surprise. Wish I had more bottles.

Everything was good to very good - color, balance, finish -- except the nose which was a bit stale.
