Drank 4-22-22 w- Katie and Tim. Nice, mature, still medium tannins but somewhat one-dimensional. Still, drank very well, and we were all surprised and pleased with this bottle. Well stored in the basement since 2015 or so. Many years left.

Drank my only bottle last evening with left over prime rib. WOW for a $30 bottle this wine was an amazing bottle. Concentrated fruit, licorice and cassis.

Beaucoup de saveurs de fruit noir et de cassis. Beaucoup d’opulence et de concentration mais sans aucun excès. La bouche demeure bien dosée, avec un versant vers une bonne extraction. Les tannins sont très doux, mais tout de même bien présent et bien équilibré. Meilleur que la dernière, donc une petite attente en avé lui a fait du bien.

Wow. This has evolved beautifully since the bottle I opened back in March of 2015. Rich, structured, and expansive, it showed classic aromas of black cherries, earth, and pencil lead atop melted dark fruit and Tootsie Roll flavors. Dusty tannin, bottle age, and a succulent piquancy added a backbone of complexity.

Best bottle so far. Really hit its stride as a big Napa cab.
