Was not expecting this bottle to be all that good based on the previous reviews. It turned out to still be pretty good. Paired this with a ribeye steak. Wine went very well with it. Tannins are mellow on this wine at this point. But still very drinkable. Based on the tannins, this wine should be drank now. I think it will still hold another couple of years but it will not get any better. It Is good now. Charred steak on the nose. Still holding up good a couple of hours later. Enjoy now!

Smooth and silky with a slightly smoky finish and little to no tannins. Paired with steak the pepper reappeared - phenomenal pairing. Would not want to cellar much longer.

Medium to dark red. Nothing to write hiome about here. Average plus cab with a decent nose of black fruits and oak followed by a palate with some unresolved tannins. Thought this might be a bit more mellow than it was.

Tasted pretty good once it opened up a few minutes. I was worried due to the vintage.

Rating was affected by the wine being past its prime drinking date
