Nice mature WA Cab. Cork broke on removal so was worried wine was past its time but it was excellent. Nice bricking around the edges. Still plenty of dark flavors, blackberry, dark cherries, chocolate. Nice finish.

Not sure how to assess. Nose seems closed, but fruit is ripe and juice is pure. I don’t see the allure at this price point though. Maybe wait a year to check back.

Pleasant but surprisingly light nose. Rather dark. Very good mouthfeel. Silky smooth with some volume evolving to distinct acidity and fine tannins. Lovely fruit.

A little tight on open. Decanted through aerator and waited a short while. Definitely improved during consumption over the next hour. Silky mouthfeel with plenty of fruit and good acid. Recommend with food for sure.

Had this after a 2003 Gemstone G. Not as enjoyable as the Gemstone but still a delicious bottle.
