Cali-Cab textbook au nez avec quelques notes secondaires sur le cuir et le tabac. L'attaque est vive, le milieu de bouche bien rond. Belle finale suave. Arrive sur son plateau et va y rester quelques années.

Cork was still good. Color and aroma are still excellent. Paired very well with a meal of medium rare tri-tip beef, buttered yam, and broccoli. The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry and blueberry. It tastes like blackberry and blueberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

My third bottle with some cork deterioration. Disappointing that I'm having such corkage issues only with the Grgich in my cellar. Despite the cork issues, a delicate and well balanced Cab with cherry, pomegranite and rhubarb flavors. Soft tannins. If only the corks were better quality!

What a nice surprise! Very upfront pleasable wine. Much to like here! Still dark, muted color and, initially, nose of black fruit and licorice hiding behind some Rutherford dust/earth. Powerful dark fruit taste with blackberry, plums, some licorice and rhubarb, big in taste but with tannins nicely integrated (but certainly not fully resolved). Medium finish. Drink or hold (in a perfect cellar).
