These have hit their prime. Still young with lush fruit, but showing more depth than previously. Some tannin still showing but has softened and is drinking great.

Still very fruit forward but starting to settle down. Best bottle of the '12 to date.

Not ready to drink, a little too much diacetyl on the nose and palate but that will settle out with a few more years. Good core of plump, ripe fruit and very nice acidity. Polished tannins.

As always, so very consistently good. Time has been kind to this bottle.

Sublime. It's gonna be hard drinking any other cab after this.

Delicious and bright, a little jammy. Enjoyed with steak, but would have been fantastic with the cheese course alone!
