April 19, 2024 - One of the best wines I have had. Did not show age for hours and truly lived up to the mythical status that has been given to it. Has years, if not decades left in it! Would love to find more!!!
Lots of fresh cherries, elderberry, cassis, roasted poblano, toasted rosemary, fresh cinnamon. -

January 25, 2019 - Nose :mint, green pepper , ceder, tobacco
palate: nice acidity , a bit ripe on attack, tobacco, mint, smooth tannin, very matured !
Showing well how well of an aged Napa cab can be ! Only the bits of sweetness made it different from Bdx, but already a classic cab!
