Exactly the same as a bottle on 11/21/11: " Primary berry/cassis aromas; full velvet bodied flavors of unripe berry, earthiness. Well matched but subdued tannic finish to end. A quality wine, excellent."

(B) From magnum. Needed 24 hours to show itself. Nice fruit - typical Napa cassis and cherry. The background has some leather and a bit of ash that keep things interesting. It's a bit of a simple cab - tannins still a bit granular and the acid element isn't there. A touch flabby.

Another wonderful showing. Primary berry/cassis aromas; full velvet bodied flavors of unripe berry, earthiness. Well matched but subdued tannic finish to end. A quality wine, excellent.

Robust wine. Big Cherry and black current upfront with a hint of secondaries showing, particularly leather. Tannins were a bit soft for the amount of fruit, probably why wine is being moved at discounts to get it consumed now. Only tasted & I believe this wine would show much better with food. A very solid wine for the discounted prices.

Nice drinking wine but not memorable.
