Last bottle like an old friend, hate to see it go. Pretty much everything I love to experience from an excellent Napa cab, superb balance and integration, soft tannin, ample fruit...this improved nicely over the years.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Nonblind with dinner, pouring a youthful red color with no bricking. Cassis, blackberry and chocolate notes. Fine tannin with an abundance of dark fruit on the palate. Lovely. (SS)

4th Saturday Group Cellar Diminishment (Sue’s): More red-fruited than dark, with a terrific resiny/eucalyptusy quality. I am enjoying that greenish quality here and the depth of the fruit. Balanced, with a lingering finish. (SS)

Definitely well past prime. Better than previous bottle, but still not as good as in its prime.

Hopefully didn't just wait too long on these. This bottle well on the way to becoming balsamic.
