  February 23, 2024 - disappointing, especially at over $60. maybe my bottle was heat damaged? I only say this after reading praise for it here, which I cannot understand based on my one experience.
  
  day two; it is actually delicious in flavor, but I still do not like it. It is a bit sharp, and thin, and the flavors are not the deep, dark, smooth ones I prefer.
  
  Trying it again, although the drinking experience is not pleasant, the flavor is, one is tempted to add it to a beef stew;,.. but it might be too sweet.
  
  for comparison, I enjoy the Stags' leap cab: the Leap, 2019. of course it is $95. I also like Chateau Gloria 2015 at a similar price, and some 2010 Rioja grand riservas for less.
  cheers!

  December 27, 2023 - A VELVTY SMOOTH, DEEPLY RICH MOUTH FELL. LOTS OF DARK BERRIES AND CHOCOLATE FLAVORS IN THE FIRST SIP. GREAT SMOOTH FINISH.

  February 26, 2023 - friends brought this over for dinner. popped cork about 30 minutes before while we polished off a bottle of champagne. Solid napa cab that is starting to show some signs of age, with some tertiary notes, hints of raisin, leather.
  One of the few 2016s that seems to have peaked early, but not surprising as it lacks the depth and concentration of many of its peers, costing twice as much.

  January 2, 2023 - An average Napa cab at an average price. Easy drinking, nothing stands out.
