  Rough and ready in 2020. Some nice flavors but massive tannins, so you need to like that.

  Pop-n-pour: Wonderful Cabernet nose, nice start, funky finish (which blew over with air/time). Overall very enjoyable for this price.

  Really quite nice. Medium body, fine tannins, balanced acidity and moved well into slightly stewed dark fruits. Enjoyed.

  after 11 years still med+ vibrant color, nose of violets, very elegant and balanced yet lacking punch of its youth. Some interesting tobacco notes beginning to emerge ...
  
  ... at this point in its life, appropriate for salmon fillet, duck, or finishing the meal with the right cheese.

  Weekly tasting group #125; A mixed set of wines (@ SB): Dark fruits, sweet spices and oak in the beautiful bouquet. In the mouth a firm amount of alcohol, dark fruits, some green herbs, sweet spices, a lot of oak, ok acidity and grainy tannin. Ready now and no hurry.
