This bottle has been stored impeccably. This is drinking like a 20 year old left bank super second Bordeaux, not a 20 year old Cabernet Sauvignon from Walla Walla. Medium body, light and lighting acidity, balanced alcohol, cassis, pencil shavings, raspberry, hints of stewed strawberries, and 30 second finish make this an absolute delight. Most of my oldest bottles of Garrison Creek have been delicious and arguably some of the best aged wines i have consumed. This is no exception. This is why you properly store and age wine. Wow!

Drank as part of 01-04 GC vertical. Excellent again perhaps my second favorite of the evening. Consistent with last tasting notes but perhaps drinking a little better than the 01. Very approachable on its own.

Dinner at Kathy & Jim's. Drinking beautifully now. Drank next to 01, a little richer on the mid palate than the 01. Still youthful with lovely notes of black cherry, cassis, black pepper and cedar. I preferred the 01' this time by a narrow margin.

Very nice and drinkable. Nice cassis aromas, some complexity. Typical Washington cab style, a bit lean and austere and a bit tannic, but went well with our meal. Should hold well for several more years but not sure it will improve much.
