  • Purchased a while ago on secondary market. Deep red with bricking. Nose of dusty cassis, tobacco leaf, cedar. Over time, had a slightly smoky, burnt wood/campfire character. Palate much the same. Decent concentration with mature cab flavors. More earthier flavors on the palate with no easy sweetness. Moderate acidity, moderate gentle tannins. A mild, non-obtrusive bitterness on the finish.

    Overall a nice, mature, well made cab. Still drinking well within the window. Missing just a bit more concentration, freshness, and length to be spectacular.

  • Consistent with earlier tasting experience and notes.

    This is showing remarkably well at 24 years of age showing no signs of diminution. This may be at its apex of drinkability and will no doubt not improve with further aging. But there should be no rush to consume these either. We acquired a case of this wine upon release and the remaining bottles are in perfect condition with corks and fill levels still being optimal.
    Tonight was consistent with my last tasting of this vintage label date back to 8/30/2009 when I posted this. "Dark inky color. forward fruit flavors of black cherry, with a bit with earth and leather emerging over the subtle currant, ripe plum, cedar and a hint of anise on a moderate finish."

  • Small taste courtesy of Daver. Datk youthful color. Black currant and plummy qualities on the nose and palate, as well as hints of chocolate and leather. Slight tannic bite. This bottle has clearly been stored well.

  • Started off stinky, definitely on the decline possibly just over the peak, drink asap, better as the night went on.
