Saturday, January 28, 2023 - I've had the pleasure of drinking this wine over many years, and remarkably, this was the very finest bottle I've had. Opened about 45 minutes before we sat down to some good grilled steaks, this was absolutely singing when we tasted it, and it only got better for the next 2 hours. The critics' and CT drinking windows have expired, which only illustrates the limitations of those recommendations. This was a majestic Cabernet blend in its prime -- which appeared likely to last another several years. Gorgeous fruit, great complexity, great length. Nothing about this wine is excessive or out of balance. It puts the lie to everything critics of Cali Cab rightly criticize. Bravo!
