Another very nice showing for this wine; Great blue/black fruit flavors; Good depth; Medium finish; Very well integrated; A bit primary but very enjoyable

Decanted for an hour, drank over three. Classic mature Napa cab. Great mouthfeel, softened tannins but still enough structure and acidity to keep this supported. I was surprised to see this was 14.5% alcohol, because it wears it very elegantly. There's even a hint of eucalyptus on the finish. Probably at its peak, but showing zero signs of decline and still somewhat fruit-forward. Very quality stuff.

Beautiful dark purple pour into the decanter. Nice full fruit on first taste. Really nice stuff! Still plenty of tannins here so I think it could go another couple of years hidden in the cellar.
