  WHUDOCK nailed the notes and score. I got notes of black cherry, spice, and a hint of secondary or tertiary flavors. Loved this bottle. Opened as part of a big event my lone bottle purchased 13 years ago on release.

  drinking beautifully. Softer, well-balanced, nuanced.

  This one was served pop and pour. I have two separate opinions about this wine. The first is that it was a very good pop and pour. Candied apples, Bramley red fruit, red cola, black cherry, red licorice, really youthful and vibrant notes up front. The middle and finish turned a little bit darker, and finished with more of a black licorice and black fruit with black pepper personality than the red fruited wine It started out as being. However, after a couple of hours, the structure of this wine just sort of fell apart. I really think this is a RATHER good PNP wine, but I expect this to improve 0% in bottle and suggests to me that this is starting to make the descent into starting to develop tertiary notes pretty soon. About 90% of the bottle was gone before dinner ended, so the other 10% is what I have to base this claim on. I'd say it's time to open these if you have not already. No decant necessary at this point.

  well refined tannin, some earth and mushroom. Good fruit. Needs an hour to open up.

  still young, although drinking well as a powerful California Cab. Good fruit, lots of well-refined tannin, meat and leather.
