November 19, 2023 - Drinking very well… at or just past peak.
October 29, 2022 - Inky dark colour, soft fruit aroma. Big first cab sav taste, rich, dark fruits, tobacco and leather, soft barnyard finish. Good rich big cab sav, drinking well.
July 11, 2021 - Great balance. Still nice fruit. Very good match with deer steaks.
May 22, 2021 - Excellent
May 13, 2020 - Still lively
October 26, 2019 - Sadly this was corked. I say sadly because the tannins had completely mellowed but there was a perfect acidity and some nice sweet fruit poking through. I smelled the TCA right away but there was so much fruit I thought maybe it wasn’t actually corked and would blow off so I drank a bit. It really was so good under that nasty mildew note but I couldn’t get past it.
April 18, 2019 - Wunderful and not expensive wine. Still great to drink. Last bottle unfortunately.
February 14, 2019 - the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts
great color after decanting a double magnum into 2 decanters
whiff of smoky fruit with the enticement of more flavor
this wine is living the dream
a mature sexy wine, fun for everyone at the party
romantic and flavorful
life is not perfect but who cares with so much good wine from Mondavi
January 19, 2019 - Bottled was stored in a friend's controlled wine cellar. Wine and cork were in excellent condition. Full bodied, great deep color and nose, and flavors that just seem to linger from start to a long finish. Unfortunately this was my last bottle.
December 25, 2018 - My last bottle. Still in very good shape and can't see it getting any better. Drink em you got em
