January 10, 2022 - Retail $150(?). 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Big ass bottle. We were invited to a dinner party, maybe the first we even considered attending since, well, you know... They told us they were making beef, so I grabbed this older Napa Cab that I’ve had for a while. Whoa. Aromas of rich black fruit, earth, and dark spice. Yowza.

November 13, 2018 - Drank from magnum. Dark cherry color. Big dark fruit on the nose and taste. Medium/Long finish. Best of this wine I have ever had.
January 5, 2014 - decanted for 2 hours. Very dark. Great nose and fruity taste with the right amount of tannins and alcohol.
February 20, 2009 - Popped and poured. Huge dark fruit nose. Taste was a little muted for first 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, wine really opened up and was MUCH better. Definitely would recommend a one hour decant time before drinking. I think this wine has big potential with proper decanting.
January 25, 2008 - Wine is improving with bottle age. See previous notes.
November 16, 2007 - Very similar to previous notes. This wine is improving with more time in the bottle.
July 11, 2007 - Might be a bit early on this one but interesting nonetheless. The nose is full of ripe black fruit and clove spice. Palate is big and chewy with bold flavors of ripe currant, a hint of blackberry, tobacco and cedar all working well together. The tannins are very well integrated and the finish is very complex and lingering.
