  This was a high shoulder fill bottle and was still fresh though not youthful. Strong color and vibrant fruit. Classic older Napa Cab. Medium finish. Similar on Day 2.

  Impressive. This held up surprisingly well with the fruit mostly intact. A bit of dark fruit and a medium length finish. May last a few years more.

  This needed an hour to open up a blow off some metallic notes. Once it had some air, this was a lovely aged cabernet. Gentle cherry fruit, medium body, ruby red. Elegant and enjoyable.
