Good but expected more fruit for the excellent vintage. Noticeable tannin. Will the fruit be there in 10 years? 4th Cab in the tasting.

More austerity than I was expecting from the Vineyard holdings and the excellence of the vintage. Needed a better balance of Cassis and Blackberry fruit IMO. Still the best match for a steak in preference to a Shiraz. Another 5 to 10 years in front of it.

Blaine says OK. Woody slots it in slightly higher.
