Decent fruit on the nose, but it is unbalanced with the tannins on the palate and has too much green peppers to be pleasant. Unfortunately, I think this wine is past its prime and is not going to get any better...

Solid Napa cab. Dark rich full bodied, drinking well first and second nights. Second night in particular: no spice, not hot/no harsh tannins, nice Napa fruit.

Oaky oaked oak. Had been open for nearly 72 hours and was still drinking decently. Lost most of its fruit but still had nice structure and some depth, but obviously plenty of new american oak. Will drink well for several more years.

Good nose on open, good tannins, opened well in 45 mins. This wine was and continues to be a great value

Oaky day one but got lusher and less oaky day two. Good structure and depth.
