This is a powerful fruit bomb straight from the bottle. Strong tannins yet silky. This fruity style I enjoy as outstanding with cheese and before or after the meal - too fruity for me with the steak and meal. It actually didn't work well with the meal. Will age for a number of years still. I tried it the next day and still the same; the fruit has not subsided.

Drank straight from the bottle. Light dark fruit and cherry with silky strong tannins - just the way I like it. Quite beautiful, rounded and full bodied. At a peak for drinking with cheese and wine or just by itself. One of the best Napa Cabs I have had in a very long time. (I intend to take on the Caymus Special Selection last in the week to compare)

As the dinner went on, it became slightly less balanced. The sweetness came through and a hint of heat. It came down significantly towards a 92 or 93. I will try some decanted tomorrow night to try to understand this one and what happened.

See my notes from yesterday - consistent and agree for me this is great with cheese or just enjoying by itself.
