April 2, 2022 - Beautiful and still so much life in it. We opened 4 hours before drinking, and it still was a little tight

April 30, 2019 - This was our very first bottle of TS from our first visit at Rafanelli. Dave was such a gracious host and signed this bottle for my wife (then girlfriend) and me and told us not to drink if for 10 years. We enjoyed this whilst preparing dinner and then finished it off with chicken parm and it's simply amazing. Dave puts this Cab against any Cab from Napa and he's right. I'm easily in the 95+ for this vintage. It could stand a couple of hours in the decanter--or even an aerator for immediate satisfaction. Subtle nose and elegant flavor profile that you'd expect for a flagship wine. Sadly, it's empty and it was the only bottle left from that first trip! Thank you, Dave and family!
