Final of 3 bottles, it's been 4 years since I last had this wine. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. I must say, at 17 yrs of age, this Cab blend is delicious , showing a velvety texture and mouthfeel, with notes of black plums, blueberry syrup, mocha, and a hint of refreshing peppermint. The tannins are resolving but provide good structure, and the acidity is ample for a bold Napa Cabernet. Still very good and will likely continue to drink well for another 4-5 yrs.

Dark fruit in the nose. No decant just let sit in the bottle.
Pepper, black cherry and some solid chocolate. Lingering aftertaste that pleases!
