Huge wine! Really has some depth and lots of red ripe fruits. Nose is a pure hedonistic experience. Finish is very long. Drank with food which stepped this Cabernet up even more. Tannins were still quite present giving the comfort of many more years in the bottle! Great experience!

I gave it a good 3-4 hour decant, but just found that it was a bit flabby and lacked precision. Great juice ofc ... but left me a bit ugh.... no fanfare of fireworks at that price point it should deliver a bit more.

Pop and pour first glass. Sealing it back up and will have more over next few days. Though it had been standing up for about 4 days as I thought I would open sooner than I did. This seems more approachable than previous bottles. Time is serving it well. Tannins becoming increasingly silky. Feels just a little lighter in body, but gobs of fruit. Nice cassis, raspberry and a waft of cola. Long finish persists, which sometimes you miss if you go back to the glass too quickly.

Did not decant this time, fabulous wine, still better if you can decant 2+ hours.

Decanted briefly. Showing bold and beautiful with bright, dense red fruit. This is a sturdy, smooth, well-constructed Napa Cab that won't disappoint.
