  This was a beautiful wine for me. The color was dark very little brown around the edge fantastic nose. Others have said that this may be getting near its end of life. I’m not sure if it was my particular bottle, but I have stored it in a temperature controlled setting since it was released. I think it has another 5 to 7 years left in it honestly. It was amazing. I gave it 95 points and I don’t think this was an exaggeration for this particular bottle. Hopefully others will find this to be true if bottles have been stored with consistent temperatures and a cork that didn’t fail.

  Very good wine. It’s getting to the point where age is catching up with it. Little fruit left, and tannins are light. Still has great nose; definitely know it’s a Napa cab! Earthy and plum on the nose. Tastes of light cherry cola, with a slight bitterness at the end.

  Deep Red color. Very long legs. Chocolate and leather to the nose. Black berry and currant flavor. Medium balance body with silky texture. Fine Sweet finish.

  Fruit has largely faded, touch of bitterness during the finish, minor residual tannins. I have not had a Napa 2011 from any maker, that I would prefer over any other vintage from that vineyard in the 2007 to 2914 period.
