  Reading the other reviews and tonight was our weekly date night and also prime rib night at my club and knowing I had a case in in my crawl space I decided to try a bottle. Opened and slow ox'd for four hours then put the cork back in and took to the club. The nose was deep fruit with a hint of wood. The palate was dark red fruit, red plums, some currants, tobacco and hints of cedar. The finish was long and full with a touch of spice coming out. It is a very good wine now and should develop more in the future. I have a grandson who was born in 2015 - I will save the magnum that I have for him. It should be perfect in 2036.

  Decanted over cocktails. Showing beautifully with great intensity and balance. Superb Napa blend right in the window.

  Phenomenal wine. Opened a magnum at a dinner party and decanted for 4 hours. Great bouquet of new oak, cassis and blackberry on the nose. Velvety palate with lots of plum followed by a little tobacco and black tea. Long leathery finish.

  $200 for $100 juice. This wine was much better in the early 2000s and at a more appropriate cost. At todays prices this wine is a major disappointment
