Decanted and drank over 2 hours, excellent fruit ;&’lows by spice, relatively smooth tannins and solid finish

Wonderful full bodied Cabernet with cigar box and leather notes. Rich dark fruit.

Similar note as before. This ones ready to go and really borders on being over extracted and syrupy. Initial impression was raspberry liqueur.

Fairly open for business after a short decant but did remain short with sharp tannins on the finish. Pretty typical Hobbs palate of cassis liqueur and oak followed by layers of both fresh and stewed black fruit. Nice mineral streak smooths out the palate. Needs 5 more years in bottle.

Drank this side by side with Dr Crane and To Kalon. The slightly stewed berry taste profile of the underlying fruit blends very well with the buttery vanilla overtone that's shared by all three bottles. This is our second favorite of the night.

Big, complex, balanced wine. Drinking great now with some time left. Settled in since tasting a couple of years ago.

Pleasant but a little disappointing for such a highly regarded wine.

Don't see any reason to wait any longer on these. Big dark fruits, tobacco and smoke. Somewhat of a heavyweight. Don't drink this before anything that's lighter or restrained in any way.

ah, the arrogant king of wall street pricing/thinking weighs in with a $130 cab worth $45. too bad it's a nice wine that no one in their right mind would purchase.

Great flavors. Thick and good fruit. Has a bright future but probably opened a little on early side.
