March 21, 2020. Dinner W/J2 and Jack D. Bottle 2. Trying to make room in the cellar by drinking old CA Cabs. Black fruit on the nose but tasted flat. Perhaps past it’s prime. Or perhaps flat b/c it was proceeded by a lovely full bodied Bordeaux (Château La Gaffelière)? Or maybe just because it’s a CA Cab? But I expected more from this Sonoma county wine.

Last bottle of the 2006 in 2017. Wonderful wine! Deep rich color. Long thick legs. Rich bouquet with oak, tobacco, cherry and dark berry. Smooth, smooth, smooth flavor. Tastes of current, black cherry and pepper. Wish I would have purchased more!!
