  September 22, 2019 - Quite a treat. Showing great. Really incisive, oodles of dark luscious fruit with some nice dryness. Classy.

  June 7, 2018 - The cork broke upon extraction and I had to eventually push it back into the bottle and pour through a filter. That was the only unpleasant experience with this bottle. The nose was beautiful with aromas of dark berries and mocha. The palate was dark berries, plums, figs, coffee and a touch of graphite. The finish was long and flavorful. An excellent bottle of wine at almost 20 years old.

  October 20, 2015 - Wow, very enjoyable example of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with a few years of age on it. Excellent modulation and integration of fruit, tannin and acid in which none dominate while each makes its own contribution to the total taste experience. Something of a funky nose happily does not reveal itself under the palate. A darned good wine.

  March 14, 2015 - This was dreamy; nice weight, balance and so composed, just the right amount of oak. This was just a lovely wine and a lovely expression of what an aged Napa cab can show. Nothing is faded though I don't see any reason to wait either. 94+pts
