July 13, 2020 - With K&O, socially distanced wine on our patio...last bottle of this 5 years ago, good time to check in on it. Drank next to an 02 Lascombes, nice to contrast 2 wines at a great point in their evolution. Splash decant, drank over an hour
Medium ruby color, no separation. Nose showing dark fruits, floral/violets, earth notes. Palate showing blackberry, currant, cedar, licorice, damp earth. Full body, richly texture. Long finish, tannins smooth and dusted.
In a great spot right now. Earth/terroir is dominant at this point. Maybe a Napa version of Haut Brion at this stage...:) Well, stored bottles should continue to drink at this level but not likely to improve much. Great showing on this evening.1 person found this helpful Comments (3) -

May 16, 2020 - Still drinking great! Fruit has dissipated but great earthy tones have emerged. Beginning is great, finish is great, the mid palate is starting to fade. Finish is long and strong. Wonderful to enjoy right now but don’t hang on too long.

August 6, 2017 - Well balanced and seductive. Blackberry fruit and mild tannins. I suggest drinking now as I don't think it will last for more than a couple years.

April 14, 2017 - Still full of bright dark blackberry fruit. Smokey nose. Solid tannic structure suggests this has many more years of life ahead of it. Classic Cali cab. Delicious!
