Singing. Exactly what you want in a 20-year-old high end cal cab. Resolved tannins and a a mouthfeel that is still gripping. Nice finish. At peak, no reason to wait.

Tannins were still chewy but after a couple hours in the decanter has smoothed out materially. Plenty of big overripe dark fruit, some sweet Oak, modest spice and dried herbs and some hard leather. Wish I saved this as it seems like it is still 5 years from peak.

Amazing Gorgeous color, still has a grip, and a long finish. Back to the gold old Napa days!! We will miss the original Elyse and Ray!!!

Very concentrated with tons of fruit despite its age. Amazing now, but could use a few more years in bottle. Wish I had more.
