April 2, 2023 - Still going strong! Great structure and beautifully aromatic, with nicely integrated tannins and firm acidity on the finish. Fruit is ripe and very much in tact, this drinks like a much younger wine. Super fresh, although there's just the tiniest bit of dirt and funk on the palate. Continued to improve throughout the night with more air. Very cool!

May 6, 2022 - Double decanted for 3h before enjoying at my bday party. Pale garnet in the glass. Soft herbal and berry nose, intense cranberries and balanced acid on the finish. Really fun to open and share with friends, must be the oldest wine that I've tasted so far. Greatly exceeded my expectations! 91/92

October 24, 2021 - Just a superb aged Cali Cab with tons of life left. Really succulent with still-vibrant black fruits along with notes of cassis and spices. Moderately complex on the finish which a gorgeous lick of Napa dirt. Wow!

January 18, 2021 - This wine could have gone for another 10-15 years. Eucalyptus could be smelled from across the room. Fragrant as hell. In glass looked to be 20 years old, no signs of aging. Currant, berry compote, and bakers spice on the mid palate. I liked the wine, others lost their minds over it. It is fun drinking old Cali Cab that is still full of life.
