November 18, 2021 - Decent wine, that doesn't quite do Howell mountain justice. Very drinkable, although this was probably much better 5-10 years ago.

February 11, 2012 - Wow. decanted and drank over several hours. It was great. Dark purple/black color. Great Napa nose. Medium tannins/body. Supple and flavorful. I'm hoping the 3 bottles I have left last a few more years. Impressed with how this is aging. Better to me than the 98 or 02 we have had.
