Community Tasting Note

98 Points
Wednesday, August 30, 2023 - Drank a bottle in 2013 with friends and rated it 98 then: "Wow! What a wine! From a vintage that some have "taken to task," this excellent cabernet has multi-layered characteristics, wonderful integration, smooth tannins, rich taste and long finish. Don't let anyone make you think this wine is anything short of amazing! Drink now through 2024."
Drinking a bottle in 2023 (10 years later) and I would say the same as then. I don't believe cellaring from here will significantly enhance - enjoy!

While my last move was w a refrigerated carrier (LA area to Dallas) the courier picked them up several days later than contracted.
