Probably needs more time on the bottle? It's a high tannin age-worthy Napa mountain cab. Of course it needs more time on the bottle. This particular vintage deserves at least five more years on its side before proper critiquing

Probably needed more time in the bottle, because there was a lot of tannin and it took a while to open up. I think it was pretty complex--black cherry nose; traditional cabernet flavors but with herbs and maybe mushroom and other earthy notes. Not as sweet or bright as I usually prefer, so it got a little dull after a while. Medium bodied.

Opened too early. Should have waited another 3 years at least. Built to age. Not yet approachable.
