  Decanted and tasted, personally cellared for 12 years.
  This bottle has held up quite well, loads of dark tart fruit, peppery notes on the finish, fully integrated, perhaps not the most complex Napa cab but a pleasure to drink nonetheless.

  Even @ 2020, it was fantastic-even better the second day!

  Loved it and was worried that it was past it's prime. Could have been held for a few more years!

  Very nice showing, rich and concentrated, with loads of dark fruit, plenty of oak and ready to drink. Drank along side the 2009 Raymond which was a notch down compared to this bottle.

  Decent cab. Decanted for 45 min. Black fruit, touch of cedar, rounded tannins. Would not hold more than anither year or two.
