Outstanding. Required about an hour or so decant. Structured, some tar, outstanding dark fruit and still vibrant and youthful in a way. Showing no signs of going over the hill, but it's so good now. Duckhorn does not have the cachet of some of CA's hot newer wineries but they should.

The cork was in great shape. It was a little one-dimensional but perfectly drinkable. No reason to hold on to it any longer. Straight-forward fruit, noticeable acidity, decent finish. Drink up if you got 'em!

If you like wines that have gone a little brown with age, this was still fantastic. Still a lot of fruit.

Delicious, soft and flavorful, though lacked some depth and complexity. Very enjoyable still, easy to drink.
