  This is a really good bottle of wine in a great place right now. Will last for another 5-10 years probably but why wait if it's not going to improve much in that period of time. Wish more CaliCabs were made in this un-Parkerized balanced manner. Not quite as good as Monte Bello but darn near. Needed 1-2 hours of air to blossom and fooled everyone at a blind tasting. Everyone picked left bank. Score may seem a little high to more fruit forward lovers (no problem there) but if you enjoy bdx, you will really like this wine.

  Barely browning at the edges. A solid 30 min to open up just starting to get secondary fruit flavors. Black cherry, chocolate, weedy, just a hint of barnyard and Band-Aid. A mix between Napa and Bordeaux. 2 hrs in and the wine is really starting to sing. Dense. Great acidity. Chocolate, dust , some sort of lighter fruit? , a hint of orange / chocolate.

  Very similar to the bottle drunk two years ago. Lots of classic Bordeaux-like character. Dusty cherry, earth, tobacco, and some hint of bell pepper over the first hour or so. This Mt. Eden cab, with its somewhat tart profile, was very enjoyable, though so, so different from “modern” Napa cabs with their oak and yummy but lush fruit-forward character. It is a 2004, of course. A super pairing with grilled sausage on a chilly early May evening. Given how little the wine changed from the bottle drunk in April 2021 (if anything, this one was a tad better), I’d think well-stored bottles of the 2004 cab will still be drinking well into 2030 and beyond.
