April 15, 2023 - Double decanted off its sediment and poured a couple of hours later. Leather and plum; drinking very well.

In Vino Veritas (in wine there is truth; people speak the truth when they are drunk), bottle #143 of my cellar sacrifices. A 1995 Joseph Phelps Magnum of Napa Cab. At 26 years young, this wine was fantastic! Deep in color and still retained its fruit, it was a smooth cab that everyone enjoyed. Hand-carried from a trip to Napa that finally paid off.🍷🍷🍷👍👍 👍 #wine #winelover #winelovers #josephphelps #josephphelpswinery #napawine #napa #napavalley

September 20, 2017 - From magnum. Double decanted five hours before service. Still dark red. Nose shows black olives, cassis, and leather. The acid is very tame, allowing all the sweet fruit to come out. Lots of raspberries and strawberries with very mild tannins. In this format, another 5 years of great drinking.

September 5, 2017 - My all-time favorite wine (puts the '89 Cos a notch behind). And regrettably my last bottle. I've never been disappointed with this bottling and have followed it's evolution over the last 20 years, consuming at least 12 bottles. It is one of those wines that when I run out, I have to find more - purchasing at retail and auction in 3-4 bottle lots to keep some stock. Such great texture and aroma, in the mouth it is velvet. Even at this age, there is sufficient fruit. Now I need to find a few more....
