  So sweet! Came in next to last in a blind tasting of 2019 Napa cabs.

  Champers and Napa Cabs Blind - Fun Times! (Chateau Simms): I believe this wine received about a 2 hour Slo-O.
  
  This was in a blind line up of some very prestigious 2019 Napa reds (and one 2016 thrown in), specifically:
  
  2019 MacDonald
  2019 Kinsman Eades La Voleuse Du Chagrin
  2019 Kinsman Eades Anjea Sleeping Lady Vineyard
  2019 Colgin Tychson Hill
  2019 Realm Absurd
  2019 Scarecrow
  2019 Harlan
  2019 Myriad Elysian
  2019 La Pelle Res
  2019 Magnificent 7
  2019 Cliff Lede Songbook
  2016 Colgin Tychson Hill
  
  2019 Myriad Elysian - I guess I am an outlier here as I liked this wine! Yes, it was slightly sweeter than most of the other wines, but not too sweet! The richness of the fruit (Beckstoffer...go figure) and the smooth tannins stood out. A very nice wine and quite quaffable. Would be good with a steak or by itself. The wine definitely suffered slightly due to its company. Did have a Caymus SS quality to it (as others have alluded to), but the difference is I like Caymus SS! Like that wine, this would definitely be a crowd pleaser, but at the price, a rather spendy one! 95 to 96.

  Too ripe. Reminded me of the Caymus SS from the night before. Felt like Dr. Crane on steroids.

  Eyes Wide Shut - Day 2 (A quiet place): Nose: Dark red fruits, a bit manufactured, almost like confectionery type of dark red fruits.
  
  Palate: Dark, ripe red fruits and deep dark earth.
  
  The two are on the same page. Bonnie and Clyde doing slutty crimes together. A strong ripeness that some people might dislike. The nose gave something away that reminded me of the Caymus we had the day before.

  Spectacular wine. The multiple 100 ratings from the wine pros on this wine are justified. Solid on all levels. If you like big Napa new world fruit bombs that are not only big but also nuanced and balanced, this is you wine.
