Over a decade since the last tasting note, and four years since I drank it last, this wine is absolutely singing. Integrated sinky tannins, fruit is still showing, and a never-ending finish. I have one bottle left.

Hats off to Stu, Jack, and Doug, all legends.

Final bottle - fruit still showing - but I don't expect further improvement. Balanced and integrated. Improved after being open an hour. Classic napa valley floor flavors. Reminds me of home (I moved this bottle with me to Sydney.) If only I had a piece of American prime beef...

Bought at winery in 2012. Celeared in the US. Moved to Australia in 2021 and just drank it. Was a bit worried it would be worse for the wear. Cork looked like a new release. Wine was stunningly fresh. Liquorice. Anise. Violet. Could go for much much longer, not showing any age whatsoever.
