Opulent red. Intense aromas of currants, cigar tobacco and berries. Full-bodied, with a solid core of silky tannins and a long finish. Well-made. Best after 2008. Wine Spectator

Darker and more dense than the 1989. Cassis and pyrazine, black tea, beautiful silky body. Delicious. Elegant tannins.

Wow. I enjoyed this a lot. Bigger than a gentleman's luncheon claret. But not overblown. Deep, still youthful, cedar and red fruits. Sexy af tannins and oh so long. Wow. Seriously good Cab blend

Very nice, but probably a bit past its prime. Raspberries, cranberry, tobacco, and cedar. Musky taste and smell. A bit thin on the finish.

Still plenty of life left with good tannins. A bit of vegetable undertones typical of area. Other 2000s during the evening were better.
