  Still nice, but in decline. Losing it's depth/backbone.

  Beautiful Napa Cab in the middle of its drinking window! Drinking Baldacci Stags Leap Cabs over the last 15 years, I am struck by how they always over-deliver at their price. This bottle cost $46 in 2010 and is drinking like a $70+ Napa Cab! Blackberry and black currant on the nose with tar and leather. Still fruit-forward after 8 years of aging, with blackberry and black currant in front, transitioning to a mid-palate of dark chocolate, leather, bramble and tar. The wine has a lengthy, slightly hot finish. Gorgeous rich mouth-feel, full and sensuous. The tannins have resolved well and are just under the surface. The acidity is high, but this paired perfectly with a rib-eye steak. Without food, the acidity would have been a bit much. The signature Cab graphite and tobacco are missing, but regardless, my wife and I really enjoyed this bottle with steaks for dinner!

  This Cab is still showing significant acidity. I expected it to be more tamed at this point. I will revisit tonight but I must say that's a little disappointing for a Black Label Baldacci Cab. 90+ points for now
