  Phenomenal, third night open and this is such a beautiful, wonderfully balanced wine. Can easily go for many more years.
  
  Note, starting to throw a good amount of sediment so make sure to decant, it also thrives with a couple hours of air, or drank slowly over a few days. Will continue to buy and hide away.

  Very surprised by this wine. Rich, blue and red fluids. Oh he’s turning out to be a great year for Napa. Medium to long finish. Nice notes on the nose of cigar and dust and red earth.

  Excellent depth and body. Improved with decanting. Light sediment.

  Delightful wine. The nose is amazing…Sweet, powerful and boozy with brown sugar, molasses, some cola a little menthol and hoisin. Big chalky tannins and peppery. But strangely thin despite its palate presence

  Amazing nose of peppercorn, eucalyptus, sundried tomato, smoked meats. Hits the palate with blackcurrants, dark chocolate, black olives, crushed rocks, and mint. Full-bodied and dense, with smooth, rounded tannins and good supporting acidity. Finishes long and dry. Decanted for 1 hour at Huntress Steakhouse in San Diego, but could have used more. This has shed any baby fat it might have had in its youth and has transitioned into a mature, elegant cabernet. Can easily go for a few more years in its current form.
