May 13, 2013 – Wine: 2003 Rubicon Cask Cabernet Sauvignon

When I first shared this wine with my friend, he declared it his favorite.  Because of this, I felt obliged to hold onto a few bottles to share with him over the coming years.  So, tonight I opened the third half-bottle with him.  It has been fun to observe as this wine evolves over the years.  It has always been delicious, balanced, and potent.  Tonight, it needed two hours to open up and stabilize, but when it did, wow!  This wine was smooth, rich, and elegant, featuring flavors of dark cherry, baking spices, black currants, leather, and well-controlled minerals.  One half-bottle and one full-bottle remain.
