Awesome. Strong cab... Just the way I like it. Wish I had a big, fat filet to go accompany.

Wine Spectator #1 Wine of the Year - 2009
Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained.

Loving it! Good balance between blueberries, plums, oak, earthiness, chocolate, w some light spice. Medium bodied, medium acidity, great finish.

2005 Vintage. This was Spectator's Wine of the Year in 2006. Tannins have smoothed out and integrated nicely. Very balanced. Tastes of dark cherry, tobacco and blackberries. Outstanding wine that has reached its impressive potential.

Massive. Still has life left. Black berry and crushed stone with wet earth and mushroom notes. Chocolate and tobacco and tea dominate the finish.

Blackberry, earth and a long, stony finish. Velvety. Ten years old and still big. Impressive.
