Still very enjoyable, but for whatever reason this bottle, my last, seems to be on the down side. Picking up some of that port-y note that signals the end is near. Definitely not getting the power and glory it had previously. Glad I didn't wait any longer.

A terrific cab that is still drinking well. Well-balanced acid and tannins create a structure that supports the dark fruits, tobacco, tire rubber and cedar that allows the flavors to shine brightly with a silky, lingering mouthfeel. Good stuff...

Very nice. A nose of black fruit, cedar and leather and a palate of restrained fruit, great acidity and soft tannins all well balanced with bright acidity made for a excellent experience.

Decanted right before drinking. A gorgeous, classic Cab. Dark fruit, pencil box, and just a touch of juniper or eucalyptus on the finish. Great with a steak dinner, and the second glass (which has sat in the decanter for an hour) is even better all by its lonesome.

This is drinking very well right now. Clearly well made. Pure classic style Napa cab. Cassis.
