drinking nicely, not over the hill in the least, glad I decanted for an hour. well balanced with dark fruits, black cherry, mocha. Wifey also loved it and she generally isn't a fan of aged wines

great purity of fruit, tannins fully integrated, drinking beautifully. Classic Lewelling ripeness without any jammy or overripe notes, has that napa cab alcohol sweetness at 15.5%, wouldn't be surprised if it measured a little higher. While I may personally lean for more of a European acidity with typical cab food matches, there is no denying the enjoyment of perfectly ripe grapes minimally vinified into wine.
