  Bold blend of 60CS 40CF was unique and beautiful. Smelled of cinnamon flowers coffee strawberry compote. Fantastic mouthfeel and length with nice high-toned edge running all through the dark spicy red fruit bramble. Purchased by me in mid 90s right after winery release. Cellared conscientiously, though certainly not perfectly.

  Popped and decanted for sed. Minimal. Alive and well. Nose bright n fresh. Resolved velvety tannins. Plenty of life a here. A Napa cab with some bordeaux qualities. Heat not an issue for us. Love when a Napa cab shows well at 20+ years. We killed it at 2 hours, wonder what it would be like with a long decant. Drink or hold. Yummy!

  Not a note but just needed to add that a second bottle of this opened tonight is even fresher than the first. And while this isn't a profound wine it certainly comes close to being so. Quite outstanding for a 23 year old Napa blend, this is just delicious.

  Popped and aerated in bottle for about 3-4 hours, black cherry hue with just a hint of bricking. Upon first pour shows lovely older Napa Cab aromas of plummy fruits, old cedar shavings, crushed spices, dried herbs and leather along with a whiff of vanilla-tinged pipe tobacco. Becomes more Bordeaux like with air and swirling, the nose evolving from sweet pipe tobacco into more one of cigar box and stones. Medium-plus body, nicely concentrated at age 23. Cherry fruits, ripe currant, mint, nori wrapper, smoke and herbaceous notes along with an impression of crushed stones on the palate. Chewy tannins remain unresolved on the lengthy close.
  Delicious Cabernet, seems to be peaking now but will last for many more years.
