deep, smooth, elegant. Tanins are balanced and it's ready to go. (94 pts.)

Drank at Dulces on a whim. Big fat cherry bomb. Deep, full, pepper, menthol, and on and on. Fantastic Cabernet! ( pts.)
Big, rich and lip smacking good. Wonderful Cabernet that is very concentrated with flavors of currant, wild berry, cedar, mocha and blackberry. The finish is outstanding. (93 pts.)
huge and tannic at this time. I poured into the decanter and poured a glass right away. needs some time to open up. Wish I had waited a couple of years to open this up. Nice now but will be better later. Big fruit flavors, plums, cassis, smoke, raspberries. Big scale. loads of tannins. Great stuff. Decant for 3+ hours to drink now. best after 2010. (93 pts.)
Just delicious. Big tannins at first that resolve after an hour in the decanter. A fair bit of oak, but the fruit bursts through and the finish is long and complex. (95 pts.)
Mellowing a bit and drinking really well. Again a Great Cab. (94 pts.)
birthday 40th better than the 02' (96 pts.)
Dinner and Fireworks with Michelle at Vineyard Grill - Ritz-Carlton Grand Lakes - Orlando
If I was blind tasting, I would swear this was a Pinot Noir. Very fruit forward (sweet red fruits ... strawberry and raspberry) and definitely benefited from decanting. ( pts.)
