Usually love this wine. But this one was hot and lacked fruit. Wondering if it was perhaps over the hill. Decanting helped a bit, but over all unbalanced with too little fruit to match remaining tannin.

Smokey, sweet vanilla and minerals. On the palate, soft, but rich mouthfeel. Tobacco, spices, red fruits and smoooth tannins. A hint of big fruit zin-like jamminess, though, which is okay. Very good Cali cab. Super with grilled strip steak.

Wonderful! Nose of chocolate, dark fruit. Smooth and silky with long finish.
