Bottle was very smooth, the five years of aging really helped. Nice tastes of cherry and dark chocolate. Not a typical big California Cab, smooth and subtle. It was enjoyable as a second bottle and I would add it back to my cellar at a reasonable price.

nose of cherry, vanilla. Taste was black cherry, dark chocolate, well made, nice tannins but it quickly fell apart. Fruit forward but at this price there is alot of others out there better.

At first, rather tart and blah. I wondered if it was a bad bottle then I realized I had been drinking anything but cabernet for months. I regaged my palate a bit. The Acidic side gave way to some decent fruit, mostly cherry and tarty berry flavors with rough biting tannins. Food helped the wine but it was just OK.
