92 - big rich california cab with very full mouthfeel. Still fairly primary profile with fresh red fruit and a nice mineral/pencil lead streak to round it out.

Purchased bottle from auction, decanted for 1hr before drinking with a ribeye over the course of a couple hours. Plenty of depth and power here with dark fruits up front and savory notes to complement the fruit. Very rich wine but already turning fairly pruney with age. This was my first bottle of Leonetti cab and for the price, I was fairly disappointed compared to more affordable bottles of Figgins with ~15 years of age that have blown me away. I've similarly been disappointed by Leonetti merlot and sangiovese that I've tried in the past. Difficult to know if this was cellared properly but not planning to splurge on these any time soon.

92 points - Decanted for 3 hours and enjoyed with a NY strip. Cassis and pencil lead. Very nicely balanced at this point between fruit and earth-tones. Hard to say if this is at its peak but it doesn’t seem far off
