Tasted blind. Bright dark purple color, looks young. Opaque and inky. Sweet fruit nose. Notes of cherry, forest floor, tobacco and some raspberries. Very ripe and sweet fruit in the mouth overpowers anything else. Structure and acidity are hiding or lacking. Awesome winemaking to see this has held up and the fruit is still so present.

Cooked. Overripe flavors make for a very disappointing bottle. Probably bad storage.

Jul 2nd, 2016Initially, good wine with balance but not overwhelming in complexity. From magnum. Opens to brooding earthy flavors. Moderately long finish. Lovely nose. Great old Earthy essences. Lovely earthy palate and finish. Needed time to open.

Otherworldly. One of the top 5 old Cali cabs I've ever had. Will be thinking about this one for a while
