  Held this bottle for 10 years after visiting the winery with brother. Drank together with him in Tokyo. The wine was very nice, but a little past its prime. Not as balanced and well put together as I had hoped for. But was a special bottle to share regardless and a very cool winery to visit.

  Glad I drank this wine now. Not the opulent, bold wine it was in its youth. I would have expected it to have more fruit left at this point. I have 4 more that I plan to be drinking soon. So, still good dark fruit but tannins have mellowed with a silkier, simpler finish.

  Sadly, this wine does not seem improved compared to when I first had it upon release. I think the best part of the wine was the loads of dark/blue fruit and plush texture. Now the wine seems disjointed as the fruit fades and the oak becomes a bit heavy handed. Not sure that further aging will cause the flavors to integrate and more tertiary flavors to show but right now it's in an awkward phase: not the exuberant enjoyable wine in it's younger days, but not fully mature either.

  Brought to a Chaine "dine-around". No formal notes. My overall impression: This is a delicious, full-bodied Napa Cab that is voluptuous and silky with restrained oak & sweet tannins. Drinking well now.
