  January 16, 2023 - Bought a few of these on line and some were badly corked. Poor storage I assume. The bottles that were good were very good. Great nose after 20 years. Still packing a punch with a nice not to over the top astringent finish. Drink up now. They are on a downward slope.

  January 2, 2019 - V into decant, which was not needed, a simple decant would have been better..
  That said for a 20 yr old Napa cab, in a good window, no bricking, no sign of age except
  the usual oak integration at this point.
  Drink now-22

  January 1, 2017 - Clearly on the down slope, but still drinking ok, med bodied, just lacking the fruit, but that's normal for this stage.
  Drink it up.
