  Deep chocolate, fairly well balanced, still young.

  Decanted for 30 minutes and paired with NY strips. Consistent with my note from 9/2012 except tannins are completely resolved now. "On palate, cassis, dark chocolate, black licorice & black cherry primarily - medium+ body, with great acid / fruit / tannin balance. Went great with grilled skirt steaks. Near or at peak and CT drinking guide (by end of 2018) is pretty accurate if stored correctly"
  
  Very dark color and no signs of oxidation. This was very enjoyable and I don't know why the last bottle I had in 7/2014 was off.

  Time has made this wine more reticent and soft, the tannins are largely resolved, nice nose, some minerality, the fruit is morphing into more secondary flavors. It lacks the verve that it showed when younger, but exhibits greater complexity

  A big cab for Napa cab lovers. Still really primary. Full bodied, low acid, moderate tannins. Big black fruits, cassis, vanilla some earth and a nice finish. Not my style, but well made.
