PNP. I know Napa has seen many new projects over the years, but to me, Mondavi is classic Napa cab, and this wine is another great example why. At twenty years old, perfect balance of ripe fruit, silky tannins and freshness. Blackberry, cherry, leather and a bit of vanilla. Near peak, but no rush.

A couple of days ago with friends: 1 hour decant. Color was very deep, dark red. A nicely evolved wine, very thick on the tongue, nicely polished tannins. An interesting bouquet of dark berries, cassis, some vanilla. Medium finish.

Classic Mondavi Napa Reserve Cabernet. Showing great. Plenty of time left. Ridiculous texture.

Kirsch, leather, slight pyrazine. Drinking nicely, but nothing to write home about.
