I guess it’s been cellared too long. Use it in the spaghetti sauce.

Great bouquet and flavor. Very smooth, soft fruit and tannins. Not an overpowering Cab.

Better than my last bottle but still not worth a darn!

Lousy, boring Cab. Don't think it will ever improve. Unfortunately, I have 2 more bottles.

While being a pretty wine in the glass and on the nose, a mid-weight not seeing any new oak, this will take a few years to gel up in the btl, I believe with patients it will evolve nicely. If you try it now decant for an hour+.
