Last of 6 bottles from recent auction. This bottle drank well - all 6 bottles were in great shape. Probably a little past prime drinking window but super enjoyable in a classic Cabernet kind of way, as this was more on the elegant side rather than the power and depth side. A super classy Cabernet.

5th of a 6-bottle lot purchased at a recent auction. This bottle showed the best of the 5 bottles so far. Delivered an excellent Napa Cabernet experience, perfectly mature in a slightly more restrained style than usual. Went extremely well with grilled New York strips and the usual BBQ trimmings.

This bottle showed younger and deeper than the previous bottle, which had faded in comparison. Rich with almost a liqueur note going on here. Two more bottles from the auction lot - it will be interesting to see how those show...

A little pruny on the nose initially, which blew off reveal a solid full-bodied Rutherford cab. Drink up.

Another bottle that showed well. On the elegant side of Napa Cabernet, with nice detail but not powerful at this stage, at least.
