August 14, 2021 - Soft floral aromas. Grippy tannins. Dark black fruits, blackberry, black cherry. Lots of acidity. Some tartness. A little light on the finish but hey, 15 years since it hit the bottle!
December 28, 2018 - Dark violet in color, floral aromas, long and smooth finish. Served at a family dinner with a 2006 Dominus and a 2009 Alpha Omega cab. All three were excellent. The perspective of the group was a preference for the A&O (94), followed by the N&N Copper Streak (93) and the Dominus (92). A bit more power and complexity in the Copper Streak compared to the Dominus.
July 3, 2017 - The nose has oak, gamey fruit. The palate on this wine is still holding well. Tannins are still present along with good acidity. Oak, cassis, a little earthiness. Drinking well now, but I would not hold for much longer - though it still has the chops To last a few more years.
January 4, 2017 - Peaking , to downward slope. Still complex dry at end
September 19, 2016 - Opened well after an hour, but tastes like it's starting to show it's age. Drink now if you have any left !
March 20, 2016 - Very consistent - good body. Maybe drank a few months late but still a solid offering from n&n
December 25, 2013 - Lovely wine.super nose full bodied, silky tannins. Hold
January 1, 2013 - Medium body somewhat disappointing for the price point. Comments from guests reflected how these wines need to be built better for aging. Drink soon before what's left of the fruit disappears.
April 21, 2012 - Opened for about 2 hours excellent
May 7, 2011 - Decanted about about an hour. Enjoyable flavors of blackberry, currant, cocoa and a hint of oak. Well integrated tannins. Very nicely balanced. A typical solid Nickel & Nickel Cab...very enjoyable.
