What a surprise for an "off" vintage. This was holding on quite nicely. Blackberry and wild black cherries elegantly balanced with leather and earthiness. Delicate soft tannins allowed for smooth long finish.

Popped and poured for neighbor's B-Day. Classic cabernet, opened up nicely after an hour. Aromas of leather, tobacco and spice w/a sweet dark chocolate. Full bodied w/a chewy texture and lengthy finish. Very good.

1st anniversary. Had never bought a bottle in the 20 range. We enjoyed this wine at Spanos with Italian food.

Not as good as the 2001. Full notes to come!

Dissapointing. Not very complex or interesting.
