  Echo previous note of about 18 months ago. Delicious wine. Full bodied wine. Black currant, cassis, sweet plums, black licorice. Some tobacco and black pepper and pie spice on the integrated toasted cedar tannin finish. THIS is Napa Cabernet at its finest and maybe starting to show a faint bit of age. Perfectly balanced.

  I gave a few of these away as gifts a few years ago. Probably shouldn't have done that. NEVER would have guessed if this was a blind tasting that it was an 04 Napa...would have guessed 11 or 12. Very youthful nose, that leads to an equally youthful palate. Nose of blackberry, grilled meat. Entry was blackberry, cassis, grilled meat, more to the middle was black licorice and some black pepper spice that stayed through the finish. Full bodied palate. I am still just astonished at the youth here. Finishes with a great traditional blackberry and black pepper. Tannins are much softer than the 14 VS I had 3 months ago. Autographed by Peter Sr and Marc. Window on CT is 2007-2013. Laughable at best. This wine is right at the top right now. The CORRECT window here is 2010-2030. We're right there at the top right now, so if you have this wine I'd consider opening at least one bottle in the next month or so.

  Absolutely delicious, currants, cassis, plums, smoke, cedar, subtle oak, smooth & integrated. This bottle was in a nice spot tonight and should hold up well in a cool cellar for a few more years.

  Dark fruit, cassis minerality, fine tobacco. Smokey oak. Smooth supple tannins. Perfect right now.

  This wine was very nice. In the glass, it was dark red in color and had smells of dark red fruit and cigar box. It tasted of dark cherries and plums with a cigar box on the finish. The finish was good with softening tannins.
