Overall very balanced and smooth. Not as big in the intermediate phase as it should be, otherwise very nice.

More developed than the last tasting notes on 5/5/11, but with the same big acidity. Will hold last bottle for another 8-12 months to see what happens. As always a solid QPR at $13/btl.

I decent California Cab. Not overly big and bold, decanted for about an hour. Pleasant nose, good with food. Estimate rinking now - 3-4 years.

Nose: Fairly dense, inky nose upon pop and pour, but after air shows earth, white chocolate and dark berry aromas. Palate: Very good acid grip with both red and dark fruits present, cedar and spice and a light to medium finish. A WTSO cheapie at $13/bottle and well worth the price. It will be interesting to see how the other 3 bottles evolve but my sense is this is a near term drinker (now to 3 years). Good food Cab …
