94 Points

Friday, December 17, 2021 - Cork was 'spongy' saturated about two-thirds of the way up. Removed with an ah-so, no problem. Great from the pnp, but improved nicely over the next hour or two then sat there for another 2 hours or so, before it was gone. A nice blend of red fruit, integrated tannins and acidity, drinking exceptionally well right now. All five BDX varietals included in this one. Caramel on the nose and palate, still a very nice spice/oak/cedar component, still somewhat garnet in the glass, no real bricking yet, but the wine overall is lightening. Normally, I need to have some food with this old a Napa cab, but not necessarily tonight. I doubt ANY Napa cab made today can age this well, or taste this good. 93-94 for this bottle, since I'm a big Arrowood fan, I'm going with the 94. Yes, I have a little bias.
