With >20 yrs has held its own really well, drank over 4 nights with Coravin. Some remnants of black and stewed fruits, cedar and tannins prominent on nose, palate and finish. A delightful wine for its age from a very good Napa vintage.

Thank you Derrald for this delicious treat. Nose of old style Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, red cherry, black cherry, and lots of floral notes, same on the palate, medium/big body, very tasty, drink now but easily last another 10 years, and a long. long. flavorful finish and aftertaste.

beautiful again, prior notes apply, more bold / youthful than all the 90's bottlings we've drank over the last decade... could go much longer (ten years?)

beautiful again... no pretense, no 'manipulation' vintnering, just classic CA cab with more fruit and body than your typical Bordeaux... just lovely, engaging, elegant yet with ample body... maybe not as good as several vintages from the mid/late 90's but very very good

Held up really well, but it was a Jeroboam bottle so great for aging. Very smooth, good tannins and structure.
