  Removed the capsule to find dried wine and past seepage. Expecting a cork fail but didn't happen, the long cork came out intact, and a thin line traced along the edge showed the failure. Fortunately, there was no spoilage to the wine. Full bodied, deep ruby to thinning red on the rim. Copious notes of vanilla, florals, licorice, secondaries like wet earth, forest floor, raspberry, cherry....a little reticent on the nose but swirling reveals a real cornucopia. On the palate a very well balanced blend of sweet blacks and reds, with secondaries, and solid acidity to keep it lively and real. Exceptional even.

  A perfectly aged wine, this was as smooth and soft as can be right out of the bottle. Mellow nose, but classic Cab dark fruit with a hint of spice. Really well balanced with a nice pleasant finish.

  This really opened up after only 30 minutes. Dark spiced fruits, earth and leather, with a dose of menthol. Tannins have dissolved into the wine but I still notice them on the finish. Just a hint of heat. What a great wine - I'm so sorry it's my last bottle.

  Dark red color. Intriguing nose of spice, earth, and dark black fruit. The nose had something that was almost a combination of earth and mint. In the mouth, balanced and still youthful, with strong fruit up front, good complexity, and a strong finish. This has plenty of life left. A-
