Yes, this is a great wine. Still needs time. Initial nose was a perfume blast of dark fruit, light oak and currant. Decanted and tried after about 2 hours... smooth and crisp. Cherry, blackberry and a tint of spice with nice aromas still filling the glass. Accidentally left in decanter for 15 hours total... finished off. Started to lose its character by that time, but still likeable. At $35, I highly recommend. Probably needs about two to three more years of bottle time, but good now.

Thanks for the tasting notes. I've got a bottle sitting in my cellar that I got from my brother in law for Christmas. My opinion of him just moved up a notch.

has anyone tried the '00? it's at my local grocery store for $30.....i usually do not find anything worthy at the grocery store..

Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without effect.

LJ65 -- I liked this wine a lot also. And I like it even more at its price point.

Here's a link to my note, if you're interested:

99 Turnbull Cab

I sure wish this wine were available in Vancouver.

Cheers.

TBird,

I have tried the 00 Cab on two occasion. It's not as good as 99 but still a very good wine 88-90 pt if you go by the scale...
