Really nice for a 20 year old cab! Black cherry and graphite. Tannic with a long finish. Slightly sour for my palate or would have rated higher. Plenty of tread left too!

These can really go the distance. Still a ton of blue fruit.

Nice structure with a very long finish. Likely has peaked ever so slightly. Notes of stone gravel

Second night is unreal. First night was a little tight and not totally drinkable. Tonight with wings was perfect.

Perfectly mature and showing lovely cassis, cranberry, mint and chocolate notes. Drying and short finish means time to drink up if you're holding.

Age adds a greenish flavor. Good tasting wine. Old worldish.

Mini version of Diamond Creek. Lots of gravel, mild tannins. Still plenty of fruit. Still a few years left.
