Delish mature napa cab. Oak has smoothed out and there is still great rich earth and fruit. Quite an enjoyable bottle with plum, graphite and dark cherry notes. Nice drying finish to cut through fat. This would be lovely with a flavorful cut of beef.

Very good flavor initially out of the bottle. I thought this to be initially past prime. The nose initially was that of wood and earth with fruit notes of cherries and strawberry. Not too much oak. Long lingering finish. Opened up quickly with decant under 30 minutes. Still good, drink up.

Splash decanted - Wow! This is hitting on all cylinders tonight. By far the best bottle of this vintage I have drunk. I believe this to be in it peak which I expect to last another 5 years. Enjoy!

Corked ... Has real fruit character, but wet cardboard/moldy nose and aftertaste. Disappointing.

We liked this very much, decanted and poured. Will sit on the other for a few years.
