From a magnum. A really excellent wine just (barely) past it's peak. Really love a good/great Napa Cab from the 90s before they turned the knob to "11" on virtually everything.

Sort of an aperitif at Rick's before dinner with Yumiko, Rick and Debbie at Canlis. We were on a bit of a short timeline so probably didn't receive quite the requisite amount of air. Still pretty darn delicious. Typical Cayuse funk wrapped in a polished frame. I love Cayuse with a decade of age, especially the Frog and the Armada. The wines just seem to find another 'gear' as it were. I'm lucky if I can get five years out of their siblings. But to my mind the rest don't seem to benefit quite as much from the additional ageing. Of course that all might be rationalization on my part..........

Dinner at Canlis with Yumiko, Rick and Debbie. Gawd I love Krug. Had this from a 375. Paired brilliantly with rabbit fazzolette. Was well on the way to WTON until the 96 HSS made an appearance. Fantastic night.
