Incredibly aromatic and redolent of black cherry, black currant, plum, chocolate, coffee, spice, vanilla, toast, herb and anise. Rich, lush, long and elegant on the palate with corresponding flavors that don’t disappoint. A full-bodied expression of great Cabernet.

Few Cabernets get riper than this. It’s fruity sweet in the mouth, with generous blackberry and cherry flavors, while charred oak lends a buttery, pie crust sweetness. Yet the wine is totally dry. Strong, refined tannins lend the necessary structure to make this a remarkable Cabernet. Fine now, and should develop over the next 6–8 years.

Some pruny overripeness shows up in this Syrah, while masses of sweetly charred oak give a candied taste. Although the wine is technically dry, it’s a bit clumsy. Give it a good decant and drink now.

Smells raisiny-Porty, and turns dry and austere in the mouth, with modest currant and oak flavors set off by hard tannins. The official alcohol is only 14.9%, but the wine feels hotter than that.

A little on the astringently tannic, austere side, but pretty good. Very dry and crisp, it shows a deep core of black and red currant flavors. Should hold and develop over the next 4–6 years.

Deep and impressively focused, and long in the finish, this rich Cabernet impresses with fruity blackberry, cherry and raspberry flavors. So rich and ripe, yet balanced with lively acidity and firm tannins. At the age of five-plus, it’s probably best now and for the next several years.

Earthy, with sauteed mushroom aromas, although in the mouth it turns fruity with blackberry, cassis and plummy spices. Turns tannic on the finish. Could improve, but it’s a gamble.

The N.V. Arns info is probably inaccurate as I just had to use something to get to the next drop box on the computer. JM was present she did not taste any of the white wines.
