Low neck. Cork soaked through. Marvelous garnet/rusty color. Still tight/tannic at first. Opened very nicely with lots of dark/musty flavors, but probably past its prime.

Surprisingly good given what has been said about the year. First tastes were flat but it opened up quickly and exceeded expectations. Dark fruit and licorice, not super long on the finish.

Drinking very well, maybe could've used a bit more time in the bottle. Great color. Lots of dark fruit. A bit jammy at first but it opened up a bit. Not tannic at all and quite smooth. Not explosive, but it tasted like a good Napa should. I'm quite pleased, particularly at the pricepoint of the wine.
