May 1, 2023 - What a joy to experience this bottle at age 30. It has aged to perfection. Soft, beautiful, every note on key. A monument to great 1990s Napa cab.

July 26, 2018 - Least ripe wine of the flight which is not a bad think. A hint of green/cab franc, tobacco, black fruit, caramel, leather, milk chocolate and earth. Very floral, cab franc green, finely layered, silky and polished, good mineral presence and a medium to long black and red fruit driven finish. Excellent showing.
