Opened an hour before dinner. Better than the bottle I had a year ago. More Depth. Dark red fruit on the nose. The palate was blackberry, cherry, raspberry and tobacco with a hint of spice. The finish was moderate to long. Served with simple grilled hamburgers on a beautiful NJ night.

Excellent for the price. Classic Napa Cab profile. Powerful nose of ripe blackberries. Full body with a decent balance between fruit and tertiary characteristics. Finish not super long and complexity is good but not outstanding.

I had rated this wine previously a 90, thinking it was past its prime. This bottle was absolutely terrific. Definitely in a sweet spot. The perfume was amazing. Slightly tannic on the finish. This was consumed over 3 hrs. Really amazing. Last bottle in my inventory, consumed as it should, on top.

Deep ruby color. Medium aromas of black fruit, dried herbs, smoke and earth. On the palate, dry with medium acidity, medium tannin and medium to high alcohol. Full-bodied with pronounced secondary and tertiary flavors. Medium length finish.
