A Solid Wine!!! Obviously, it’s aged, but still a great wine with nice black & blue fruit, subdued tannins and acidity, but still a very nice balance. Paired it with an excellent Filet purchased directly from Harris Ranch in the Central Valley. Terrific pairing.
To be fair, I think this is within a year or two +/- of it’s best showing. I’m beginning to go back and finish off my (slightly) older wines. Love older, aged Cabs, but too much of what I buy (i.e. can afford!!!) are not really “20 Year Age Worthy”! 😂

Big, bold fruity Napa cab. Nice mouthfeel but loses its structure at the end. Tannins already integrated. Doubt waiting any more would add to this wine.

did not it me quite as great as the last bottle ut it was still a solid 92. Excellent bququet. Complex and showing well right now. I opened it 2 hours ahead (no decant) and it was perfect for the whole long meal.

i am VERY surprised at the 88 average. I just opened my first bottle of this. It was spectacular, Wonderful fruit medium body excellent complexity. Medium and medium dark fruit, some earth/Rutherford dust, cassis, tobacco, etc. Nice tannins quietly in evidence. Bob loved it too. Best of all the SGs in last 5 years we think.

Integrated tannins holding it together. Can continue to rest easily for at least another 3-5 years. Fairly linear, dark black fruit.
