  Just a spectacular wine, aged cabernet exactly as it should be. A tiny bit of funk on opening but it blows off. Still surprisingly dark in color, plenty of fruit remaining, so smooth. Drinking beyond peak but plenty of time left that this will be good.

  Acker Pre-Auction September 2022 (Redbury Lounge): Good solid old Napa which avoided the too intense ‘97 style but which doesn’t seem to have the nuances that I always get more in other vintages and find more lacking in this one.

  Wine seemed to be in excellent condition underneath. So sad.

  High fill into neck - perfect bottle. Pop and Pour, wait 15 mins. A little bricking but almost no sediment. Overripe but not jammy black cherry fruit, some blackberries and blueberries. Sweet vanilla Oak in background with a hint of sage. Velvety smooth. Great balance. Blown away by how good this bottle was. This bottle had 3+ more years of top quality drinking left in it.
