  Medium+ bodied, traditional styling. As with many 90s Napa Cabernets this has held together well (with just 3mm cork saturation). If anything, still tannic. Fruit, earth, forest, and still possessing force. Decent complexity, long persistence. Don't be afraid to give it many hours of air, it's ready but could continue to cellar. 90+

  A correct but otherwise lackluster bottle.
  
  Very good deep garnet with purple tinged edges. A muted nose od cassis and medium dark currant. The palate reveals som, repeat some subdued fruits of dark black cherries, currants, slight cassis, and a hint of cedar box. Nice tannins level and acid. More fruits would have been appreciated, but at 13 years old, you get what you get. A decent bottle of Napa Cabernet, just not exciting enough to warrant higher praise.
