  2023 Napa in the City: Tasting & Lunch (The Pool/Grill): Very small taste. Wine was from a dinner the night before and a touch more tired and I think maybe even more so because this isn’t a year that has aged quite as well as everyone expected. So it goes. Still fun to get to try.

  Decanted from magnum 3 hrs before dinner. Wow. Classic Napa cab made in an old world style. Mature and integrated, yet still fresh. Drink now, but no rush - may not get better, but still has plenty of life.

  Dinner at Doug and Elaine's in North Palm Beach. Opened 3 hours ahead. On the nose beautiful black fruits, crushed rock and a hint of cedar. Medium bodied, pure cassis, earth and a touch of spice with a long smooth finish. Very nice structure and balance. Great bottle - fully mature but seems like it will stay at this level a long time. I can't say enough about this wine...one of the finest California Cabernets I have ever had. 97 points.

  Cork Vault August Bottle Share--78 Giacosa Riserva, 85 Certan De May, 96 Calon-Segur and more (Charlotte, NC): Decanted 90 minutes before sampling. Classic mid-90s Napa Cabernet-- the best of new world fruit crafted in an old world style. Pleasant aromatic earthy, musty cherry nose with hints of cedar. Minerally on the mouthfeel the wine displayed a youthful flavor lending some thoughts to botrytis adding more punch to the cherries, fig, and cassis. Nice, smooth finish. A fine example of 90s Napa wine making.
