Did not decant, especially after reading some previous notes about its age. Nice nose of red fruit and cocoa powder. Tasted of dark chocolate covered cherries. A nice new world flavor. Acidic yet smooth. Over all a very enjoyable bottle of wine.

I probably should have consumed this a year or two ago however it is still drinking well. Nice nose of red fruits with a touch of smoke. Medium weight on the mid-palate but short on the finish. I would definitely consider buying some more of this in a more recent vintage, it was enjoyable.

(Kendall Jackson Vintner's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon) #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-pomegranate component; not too oaked; little burnt leaf and smokiness on back-end; some blackberries; not bad; controlled; PALATE-light tannins; good fruit; kind of rich; not bad; very Bordeaux-like; hint of coffee; black currant for sure; good solid Cabernet for $15 bones; definitely worth a try; GV-86

This wine aged *very* well for us, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Dark, smooth flavors and aroma. Wish we had more!

Forgot what I had this with, but it was excellent! Caryn cooked up some tasty steak and potato dinner. Yum! Will buy it again if I see it.
