  January 23, 2021 - Did an alternating Cabernet vertical flight of 2007 Charles Krug Yountville, 2008 Louis Martini Sonoma, 2009 Charles Krug Yountville & 2010 Louis Martini. Rated best to worst in order was 2007, 2009, 2010, 2008. I don’t believe any of these wines were intended to aged this long but they were in the back of my cellar and gave them a go. Surprisingly the 2007 Krug was borderline excellent and stole the show. The 2009 Krug was nice but not as good as the 2007 with less complexity and starting to fall apart. Both of the Martini’s were still alive but starting to fall off and showing hints of dull. I suppose the moral of the story here is drink these young, as intended, especially the Martini’s

  June 3, 2017 - Absolutely not at the end of its life. My first Krug Cab in quite a while and I'm kicking myself for waiting.
  
  Excellent full bodied Cab. Dark and opaque with no visual indication of aging; Hot nose with currant, pipe tobacco, and salted plum; excellent creamy and edgy body with flavors of dark berry, currant, cocoa, and some dirt .
  
  Very good QPR.

  June 13, 2015 - Last bottle of this one, still drinking okay, but not as well a few years ago when last had it, probably getting a bit more towards the end of it's window despite the vintage. If you're holding on it's probably time to pop this one open...

  November 30, 2014 - Don't see this getting any better, seemed to have a little more dark fruit this time around. Good value.

  January 2, 2014 - Earth, tobacco, coffee, currant, crushed flowers, cocoa powder, dried cherries and wood on the somewhat mature nose.
  The palate is mature but not senile, showing flavors of cherry, currant, dried flowers, tobacco, herbs and cocoa powder. The acidity remains moderate and the dusty tannins are moderate-low. The finish lingers softly.
