Not very impressed with this wine. Took an hour in the decanter to get past intial toughness. Afterward, mostly laced with strong oak nose and taste. Finish was short. I am usually enamored by the regular Phelps Cab bottling, but in this case I was very disappoionted. |

6/17/05- Had this with lamb at our place with Aly and John. Perfect balance, with tons of cinnamon once it opened up. We didn't decant, but I would for an hour next time. This wine only got better in the glass and we just ran out of steam. Drink the othe Barbs any time. |

Delicious, but a little lean, at least compared to Feudi's other wines. Very nice for the price, though. |

In 2006 the wine was excellent , but still needed some time to reach it;s full potential. Lovely nose ofbramble and sweet cherry. Red-black fruits on the palate, but finished somewhat astringent. Just give it 3 years and It will be great. Best in 2009. |
