Decanted about an hour, consumed over 3h. Blousy floral nose and deep with layers of dark fruit on the palate. Nice Napa Cab in a (relatively) reserved style. Well balance and medium finish. A decate or more in the tank (as demonstrated by the '94 we had along side it which outshone it in elegance only acquired with age).

Very dark red.purple color. Splash decanted and drak a couple glasses over 2 hours. Cedarbox, dried herbs, cassis, retrained, though slowly gets earthier and a bit deeper too on the nose. The palate too shows restraint, nothing over done here; full bodied, lot of wood and earth notes, cassis, dark fruits, good acid, grainy somewhat dry tannins. Slowly improves and pairs well with our steaks.

Last of 6 bottles. Drank over 2 nights. Black/red color. On nose, cassis, pipe tobacco, cherry, sweet oak and plum. With air, bell pepper, otherwise palate consistent with nose. Medium body, medium acidity/tannins and long finish. Very enjoyable and has aged beautifully. 92-93+ range.
