  I think this wine has been underrated by fellow tasting critics here. Wow. Partially integrated tannins give this wine a velvety mouthfeel while the structured tannin and acid remaining provide the wine another 5 years to develop.
  This Cab is full of typical Napa black fruit markers but has developed a full-bodied smooth richness which makes you want to curl up in front of the fire (or fire pit) to savor. Think of oaky, a bit of smoky coupled with some tertiary notes of kitchen spices, toffee, and coffee.
  I would decant this wine for about thirty minutes to an hour to enjoy from the first sip and to remove the inevitable sediment that forms from opening an older wine. Wish I had a couple more bottles of this vintage. Cheers!

  I enjoyed this cab but didn't feel like it deserved more than 90.

  Pretty good bottle of wine. Refined character. Approachable if somewhat muddled fruit. A bit of a short finish, but enjoyable all the same. A steak might overpower it, but i think it would be great with other grilled meats. Score [ 50 + 5 + 11 + 16 + 8 ] = 90.
