Did an alternating Cabernet vertical flight of 2007 Charles Krug Yountville, 2008 Louis Martini Sonoma, 2009 Charles Krug Yountville & 2010 Louis Martini. Rated best to worst in order was 2007, 2009, 2010, 2008. I don’t believe any of these wines were intended to aged this long but they were in the back of my cellar and gave them a go. Surprisingly the 2007 Krug was borderline excellent and stole the show. The 2009 Krug was nice but not as good as the 2007 with less complexity and starting to fall apart. Both of the Martini’s were still alive but starting to fall off and showing hints of dull. I suppose the moral of the story here is drink these young, as intended, especially the Martini’s

It has gotten a bit better but overall to thin to get a top rating.
