2004 Frazier Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (USA, California, Napa Valley)

1 hour decant. Somewhat tired color of burnt umber. This had some pretty red fruits dominated by cherries and raspberries. A decent light to medium weighted wine that was nicely balanced and fully resolved. Some camphor, spring flowers and cedar box was present as well but as it sat longer a sweeter almost annoying characteristic dropped by. Not the best showing of this one by far. The hands of time have been cruel to this 2004 Cab, as is what I have been seeing more and more of late. 88 pts
