Brought by the birthday boy, Leon to the table tonight. Pnp'd tableside and decanted for about 45 min before we started in on it. Dark purple in the glass, no bricking or aging notes colorwise.
Nose was a tad muted but had sweet dark red/black fruit notes prevalent. The palate was full of smooth, integrated dark red fruit, great depth and concentration. It's fully integrated and in its window. I don't know if it gets any better from here. Borders on a 95 for me tonight....beautiful.

Purchased at restaurant and drank with steaks. Good find amount the slew of many, many more recent voyages on the menu. Even after 16 years, this thing is still quite powerful, but at least the TA IMS have resolved themselves. Well structured and a good complement to the food, but a bit too alcoholic (15.5%) for my liking to drink without food.

Tasty wine, well built, but a little strong in the alcohol and menthol components from the nose. Just not really my style of wine at the moment. 91-92pts

Incredible wine. What a true "amazing" Napa Cab should taste like. Beautiful, soft blue fruit, supple tannins, hints of spice and earth, a touch of minerality, and mild acidity. This is an amazing wine and worth the price. 98 pts.
