  Took a while to open up and initially we thought it was dead in the water as the nose was suspect, but this proved to be a false alarm. After a 30 minute decant it was sublime. Silky texture, tobacco, a bit of sous bois, tannins melting away. Tertiary in every respect. Possibly now a touch on the decline? Very fine. Not a wine one gets access to all that often. A real treat.

  difficult wine at the age of 21; deep colour, a bit raw, very CS,, nice, but (still?) not so balanced.

  Fantastic old school cab...at a great price. Balanced and complex, with cedar, tobacco and cooked strawberries on the nose & the palate...with a long finish. Definitely at its peak, but should remain there for quite a while. Amazing QPR (still selling for approx. $60).

  Dusty red currant, tobacco and hints of iron. Fully resolved tannins with red fruit and tobacco on the palate. Finishes with good length and plenty of fruit. At peak IMO.
