Size isn’t everything, but in this magnificent 100% Cab, it’s an impressive part of the total package. The blackcurrant and cherry flavors are massive, the oak is impressively strong and spicy, the acidity is balancing, and the tannins are a wonder, softly ripe and firm at the same time. On the finish, the flavors turn even richer, suggesting creme de cassis and chocolate. Best now–2010.——W.E.(9/1/2006)—— 93
