2004 Staglin Estate Cabernet--delicious!

Had this wine over 2 days and I am impressed. Lots of black fruit, smooth tannins that provide just the right amount of backbone to keep the fruit in check. Some may find the wine over the top, but since I like my Cabernet big, just right for my palate.

Not exactly inexpensive, $140 and this is 2006(?) price.

Always good and ages well and too expensive these days. But I’d happily drink it any time if someone pours, otherwise I just go with what I already have.
