April 8, 2022 - Delicious expression of this wine. Lots of cassis and eucalyptus, softened structure, some red currant too, and really ready for business, perhaps in contrast to the 94 Dalla Valle that needs more time

January 5, 2022 - PNP into Schott Zwiesel tasting glass (“Flower” day): Medium garnet with large amount of deposits.
Soy and oxidative notes. Nail polish and VA. Good condition given the ageing in cellar.
Silky tannins. 92-93 points. -

October 9, 2021 - Did not have high hopes based on the age, but was pleasantly surprised. Still had some freshness and power. Super enjoyable.

December 24, 2020 - Purchased on release and stored well. Dusty red-purple color. Scent of plum and wood spice. Smooth and balanced palate with plum flavors, red raspberry, a touch of chocolate and a bit of wood. Fully integrated. Not very complex, but drinking very nicely and at a long slowly declining plateau. Smooth medium length finish. Went well with a prime reverse seared tenderloin on Christmas Eve.

October 30, 2020 - Double decanted. Cork crumbled. Wow. This is such a fine example of what aged Napa Cabernet can deliver in spades. Light bricking at rim, cassis, saddle leather, tobacco. Tannins still noticable and present to balance this wine. Not flabby, beautiful at 26 years old. Bravo.
