Lots of dark fruit, jammy. Hints of vanilla and mocha. Good solid Cabernet. — a month ago
2001 vintage. Great fill and cork. Decanted with respectable sed and chilled down to the upper 50’s. Tasted after 30 mins and two hours. Medium heavy body. Moist dirt, graphite and black olive nose. Dark chocolate and fudge sludge with some finishing, earthy leanness. Powerful and approx a half-decade past the top of the bell curve but still pretty good. Should hang out in this area for another3-4 years. 7.27.24. — 2 months ago

Decant for sediment(lots of fine/cloudy sediment) and pour. A majestic tawny dark red color. On the nose: sweet port like with dried plum/cherry, herbaceous, rich soil, mushroom, pepper. Taste: Amazing! juicy, refined, balanced, savory wine with dried cherry, black raspberry, earth, tobacco, mint, and a nice mocha baking spice medium plus finish. YUM! Still delivering at 44 years, and glad to have a few more bottles. — a month ago
