March 20, 2024 - Decanted for 4 hours and this was smashing. perfect provenance and it showed. Tobacco, dark fruits, and a bit of leather. Still a bit tannic, this has years on it left, but not sure it will get much better. Classic Cali Cab and this wine went toe to toe with a 1998 VCC which was a smokeshow as well.

March 16, 2024 - This was absolutely fantastic. I bought a couple of pristine bottles at auction for a low price. This wine tastes like it is in its prime. Great nose of some fruit, leather and earth. Very subtle. The palate is a mix of red and black fruit that doesn’t taste old at all. Not many tertiary notes. The fruit is still here and very fresh. This was tremendous for a 25 year old Napa. Love it.

February 24, 2024 - Still had a good amount of fruit. Very balanced and smooth. Not a super powerful wine but went very well with our steaks. Wish I had more.

January 26, 2024 - Rich dark fruit and spices on the nose. A hint of green pepper, plenty of rich cassis, cinnamon, tobacco. Smooth and full bodied, with a long structured finish.

December 24, 2023 - The first five in the wooden crate were wonderful over the years. Sadly the last one (this one) was over the hill.
