CT drinking window said 2008 and the wife wanted something with vanilla. This lived up to the billing. Very smooth and the vanilla flavor comes through very nicely. There is some pepper and the fruit is more black than red. Finish is medium. This one is firm enough that another year or two will be fine, but I doubt it will get that much better after that

Nice purple color with hints of red. Stawberry, rasberry, cherry, cassis, and spice - nice nose. Smooth feel, and good finish. Best cab I've had under $20 in a long time.

Edward Roberts International Pre-Auction Tasting (The Union League Club (Chicago)): Pretty average napa/generic cali cab. Nice bottle, but just not great.

Edward Roberts International Pre-Auction Tasting (Union League Club of Chicago): Nice. A little austere on the finish.
Big fruit. Cherry with grip. Balance with higher acidity levels.
Good, but tasting this after '02 Bryant is hard to appreciate what this does bring to the table.
