Expansive aromas of bright dark berry fruit emanated from the glass. Dark garnet colored, medium-full bodied, bright forward ripe black currant fruit tones accented by black raspberry and black berry, spicy oak and anise. The finish features a solid core of black fruit that lengthens and combines with smooth mocha, cedar and cassis for a plush, long-lived finish.
Nose of tobacco and licorice and blueberry fruit still present. Full body with cherry and even a touch eucalyptus. Rich mouthfeel and well balanced in a mostly complex, fruity style. Only a slight dry tannin feel in the mouth but the it looses to the good fruit. Drink now.

Had this along with a 2003 Mitolo Shiraz. The meal was goat. The shiraz was the correct pick. the cab, while excellent, was not quite up to it like the Mitolo.

Pretty good with still good fruit and structure but a little off taste.

Very thin, no fruit, not all that pleasant to drink. Powerful nose but disappointed from there.
