Auction bottle, nose of black currants, black berry, forest floor, and cedar, same on the palate, big body, rich and mouth filling fruit, elegant tasting, at peak, toward the downhill side, still very tasty, and a long, long finish and lovely aftertaste.

Nose of black currants, forest floor, cedar, and hint of iron, same on the palate, big body, rich and mouth filling fruit, lots of concentration, elegant tasting, very tasty, time to enjoy but will easily last another 10 years, and a long, long finish.

Note taken after 3+ hours in the decanter. This is a beautiful Napa wine, with a nose of cedar and jammy fruit. Nice tannins on the palate, with a great fruit and oak balance. A beautiful wine if you enjoy fruit-forward Napa Cabs. Will keep for a few years yet.

Nose of black cherry, black currants, and earth, same on the palate, big body, rich fruit, mouth filling, at its peak, time to enjoy it if you own it, very tasty, almost elegant, and a long, flavorful finish.

Opened for the Super Bowl and it was a much better wine than the game. Bouquet of currants, black cherry, white pepper, briar, and dry forest floor, more of the same on the palate, big body, delicious, good complexity, almost elegant, mouth coating fruit, paired with Cheetos, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Dark Milk Chocolate with Salt and Almonds, long, long, flavorful finish.

I'm a fan of the regular 02 Miner Cab so I had high hopes for this bottle. It was rich, full flavored and coated the entire inside of my mouth leading to a long finish. I wish I could have spent some more time with the wine, but we drank it with good out-of-town friends. The wine almost was too concentrated and fruity, but I won't pass judgment until I try my second and last bottle.

The cork was very crumbly, but did its job. It took four corkscrews and a pair of pliers, but it finally emerged.
Heavy oak and cedar notes on the nose, along with some dark fruit. Bold palate, with big fruit and lots of cedar. This screams nicely aged Cali Cab.
If not for the suspect cork, I'd say this could last another decade. Worth holding if you're willing to gamble on this.

Drinking perfectly at this time. Secondary characteristics emerging. Earth tones, leathers backing deep fruit cherry/apricot.
