February 8, 2023 - This was pretty stunning and drank well even 3 day later. Super dark musty, glycerin, big tannins, licorice, bitter choc., cassis, awesome richness, big mouthfeel, but complex, grippy. Very nice. Another '05 like the Kongsgaard. DD Napa Cabs blind at Michaels. My 2nd place of the night. 93-94, in there with the Kongsgaard, but totally different wines.
