Dark ruby in the glass with a complex nose of dark fruit, a bit of leather, some licorice and cassis. On the palate the tannins were smooth and well integrated without being flabby. Good fruit with some licorice, tea and cassis. The finish lingered.

Dark, vibrant appearance with slight brick at edges, subtle berry nose. Generous fruit, full flavor, medium to heavy body on nice structure. Always better than expected, very good cab, drinking well now.

Dark color, fruit forward, still with plenty of depth. Takes a bit of time to open, then provides full flavor but, more monolithic then nuanced experience. Still enjoyable.

Dark fruit, cassis, earthiness on the nose. Licorice apparent on the palate; lingering finish returns to the dark fruit with a touch of rosemary. Good balance and structure. Solid Napa character.

As good as ever, still drinking beautifully if not better as previous notes.
