Decent rather than great, this has probably seen better days. Still pretty pleasant though. The nose was very Napa cab, with fruit forward cassis aromas along with a twist of herb and wood spice. Unfortunately thinning out slightly on the palate, and just a tad one dimensional, but it still had a decent balance, with fine acidity and soft tannins wrapped around a sweet mouthful of cassis fruit. It just dropped off a touch on the finish, but otherwise pretty pleasant.

Opened approx. 1 hour before tasting. From magnum. Past peak, showing muted forest floor and wet leaf aromas. No fruit to speak of. Some leather and tobacco notes. Hardly any acidity left. A bit of a disappointment.
