Delicious wine. I feel like it's closed down a bit, but there's still a ton of tannins to soften and let more fruit come forward. The fruit is present, and still active. Could go for at least another 10 years. Really beautiful wine, just needs more time--ideally in cellar, but if not in cellar, decant for at least 6 hours.

It's really a beautiful bottle of wine. the tannins were still present and forward, as was the acid. The fruit had taken a SLIGHT backward role one the palate, but really beautiful. I don't know how long I trust Napa cabs past 10 years generally, but I feel like this has the structure to go at least another 5-7 and still be well within the peak drinking window.

Beautifully structured and nicely balanced. The tannins are fine and the overall balance between the tannins, acidity and astringency is harmonious. Plenty of cherry and blackberry fruit amply present, 16 years in. I'd expect it to continue to be lovely for at least the next five years.
