05' Rudd Estate Cabernet. Getting so close to a pop & pour. 2 great years in it. Edit - It started to fall apart that 3 hour.

05'It's a full-bodied beauty. 45 minutes in the decanter. Red Licorice, black/red fruit, black raspberry . Drinking with length & elegance. This has many years in front of it.

Pure, long, sexy. Some oak but very silky fruit and really showed well with minimal air.

Beautiful Bordeaux nose. Starting to hit its stride at 13 years old. Deep dark berries, light tobacco notes, vanilla, some inky smokey notes along with exotic spices. Better than expected.

Amazing wine... Still needs 3-5 more years for tannins to mellow
