Excellent. The additional aging made the tannins very silky and smooth. There was no harshness, and no alcohol on the nose. Very enjoyable wine, I would purchase again.

A typical Napa cab which is to say "superb!" Currant and dark fruit predominate with a smooth mouthfeel and well balanced tannins. At six years from the vintage, this one is coming into its own, with no hint of decline, and probably several more years of good life left. Nicely done.

Tannin still masking much of the fruit, indicating this isn't ready for drinking. Dark fruit flavors, cedar and mint notes.

A bit hot on the nose and palette, but comes into its own over 3-4 hours. Not overly complex but good deep black berry flavors with a medium finish.
