  2nd trying of the wine and I am now out of the 2009 BTK. Similar notes from the May tasting with emphasis on "drinks at triple what I paid"

  I am going to up the game here. This was a flat out fabulous find for a magnum from Napa. Think I paid $140 for a magnum. Worth triple that as it drank as good if not better than some wines I have tasted over $300/ 750 ml bottle.
  
  Nose of ripe berries, some iron, and tobacco leaf. In mouth I get fresh pressed blackberry fruit, cassis, black cherry, graphite, and a tinge of fresh asphalt. Mid palette has a spiced presence and ends with lingering flavors of lead pencil. Just fabulous.

  Picked-up another bottle in the secondary market at a nice price. Dark ruby/purple fruit - blackberry, blueberry, currants, and dark cherry. Smooth mid-palate with decent depth but not as deep as some recent vintages - although this vintage is also at a more mature phase in comparison to the 2012 and 2013 vintages. Nice vibrant flavors of dark berries and a little spice. Fairly long finish. Decanted for one hour and drank over another two. Improved a little with time but drinking well after the decant.

  Gorgeous Beckstoffer profile of dark ripe fruit, berry, cassis, depth and concentration, the style I truly enjoy. This cab exhibits elegance with a touch of class. I really like this cab and I wish I had more. I probably stole this one at a price of about $70 or $80 bucks at a close out. I'll never get a value like this again. Highly recommended, if you can find it.
