First glass, no decant.
Alcohol first and foremost on the nose, followed by a slight mushroom funk and some indistinct dark berries.
On the cusp between medium and full bodied, it has an off-putting astringency from mid-palate on suggesting over-extraction.
I am hoping some decant time for the rest of the bottle will help matters, but I am not willing to bet on it. 80

2 hours of decanting later and it has improved somewhat. The back end has softened and the acetone astringency has diminished.
What is heartbreaking about vintages like this is you can taste the promise the grapes had on the vine, but it somehow got lost or covered up during the making. There are really lovely hints of dark berries and spice underneath that overwhelming stemminess, and the nose has developed delicious floral notes. 3 points added.

Second day
Significantly better. Juicy blackberry and plush plum greet the palate immediately and carry through to the end with an intermingling of cedar and spice. That over extracted quality still lingers in vegetal bitterness, but is far less present now.
5 more points added.

Perhaps more cellaring was warranted? Wiser minds than mine would know.

Undrinkable out of the bottle. Required a Vinturi to soften the tannins to something drinkable. Not worth the calories.

Super dense, blueberry milk shake, could dilute this 50/50 with water and have two bottles of wine. Great stuff if you're in the mood.

Not my fave! Pretty vegitative. Got better 2 hours after opening. If you even want to drink this, definitely decant 2+ hours for the vegitativeness to blow off.

Blueberry and overripe raspberries on the nose. Really nice bouquet. Mostly primary notes on the palate. The oak is mellowing from years prior as well. Red and black fruits on the palate, bit of graphite. Still very young - fruit forward. Tannins and acid are plentiful. Will try again in two years.

Initial slight raisiny, pruny, vegetal aromas blew off to reveal some nice currant, earth and walnut aromas. Medium bodied, spicy cassis, sweet fruit and fresh acidity. Medium length finish in a more traditional style. Liked by most blind tasters. Probably at peak maturity, although well stored bottles certainly will have years of pleasant enjoyment. 90-91

Closed down upon uncorking, but after an hour it opened up. A rather delicate expression of cabernet with light notes of raspberry, anise, cherry, and cigar box. Silky smooth and well balanced. Medium bodied.
Had I tasted it blind, I would not have thought this was a Napa cab, but perhaps a grenache or a moderately oaked pinot noir.
A rather unusual wine, but despite its quirkiness, still fairly good. My friend who drank it with me thought it could age another couple years and improve, but I think this was perhaps the end of the line for it.

Ok to drink, but not particularly enjoyable. Quite acid. It develped a bit over the evening. I liked it a bit more than my wife. Won’t buy again.

Drinking nicely. A bit thin, but smooth tannins and nice flavors. Great price point for this quality of Napa Cab.

I was a bit shocked at how good this bottle of was as so many of the others from the batch I got were awry. This was a lovely sweet core of fruit, great extension, and some acidity - quite lovely. Was a great price at about $22 after tax too.

This is a great QPR at discounted auction pricing and the best vintage for this wine I've had. Scored a 93 on the first night as the richness, structure and acidity all melded into a dynamic package. Lost some intensity and depth of flavor on second day. Not sure aging this much longer makes sense but it's singing now out of the bottle.

This is so much better than the '14 which was on sale at a fraction of the price, and there must have been good reason. This had some beautiful acidity and an almost electric intensity, more of a red fruit profile. An interesting style.

Gave this an 84 three months ago, and I don't know why I was so generous. Takes suckage to a new level for a Napa Cabernet. If it sold for $10, I still would not buy again.

Maybe the perfect drinking age where the bouquet is still powerful with a velvet finish on the tongue. Enjoy it now if you have it...about to eat some fillets with it to celebrate.

This is in its prime, if not slightly less than prime. Had with seared NY Strips and a herbed beurre blanc gloss. Really tasty. Secondary for sure, but all black mountain fruited all the way. Was a treat to enjoy this twenty something years on down the line. Savory long finish. Well done.

Much better on the 2nd day. This always feels awkward and a bit stifling on day one, but comes around more on day 2 after some vacuum sealing.

Deep extraction. Dark black cherry, Eucalyptus, light tar, and soft tannins. Medium to long finish. Mild pepper after taste. Great food wine and great to sip.
