Drank from a magnum with friends and it was a good cab. Blue and black fruit on the nose and palate. Not a lot of tannins, but those that remain and well integrated and smooth. There are some earth and pine notes leading into the medium finish.

Excellent aged cabernet. Loved exploring these bottles over the past years. Red fruit, smooth tannins still evident, tobacco, peat, a little smoke. Very good wine.

This is a solid wine that has been a rewarding experience to follow through the years. The nose is predominately blue fruit with some forest notes. Occasionally, I get hints of tobacco. The palate is very smooth. The blue fruits are getting darker, more reduced and they are smoother now. Secondary flavors of cedar, mushroom, and mineral are developing in the lingering finish. It is not as robust as it once was, but it is more complex. Good acidity and I feel that it will still age nicely, but while I expect a little more development, it may not improve that much.

PnP for dinner party. No detailed notes. Drinking well. Nothing special.

Aging well with some earth tone support in the middle of the palate. Lingering finish.
