April 1, 2020 - Not a bad effort, even 20 years later. The wine is mellowing out considerably since opening it up about 30 minutes ago. The nose is subtle but beautiful - classic aged Napa cab. I get a very smooth mouthfeel along with a little tannin. There are some leather notes on the mid palate along with some residual fruit. CT says this vintage expired a few years ago but I think it still has some legs. But maybe no later than 2023?
