  A bit surprised at how well this held up. I was assuming it would be well passed its prime.
  
  Cork was nearly gone was not comprised and had done its job admirably.
  
  Color was just barely getting some hint of bricking. Had more fruit on the nose than expected.
  
  Wish I had more. If you happen to still have one that has been properly cellared you will be pleased if you drink it now. It would even be better if you share it with a trusted CellarTracker note writer. ;-)

  ($46) Napa-Noma Trip: 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Cabernet Franc. Good color - slightly more translucent than the cabernet with a swirl of tawny. Herbs, light creosote, tobacco, weeds. Weedy complexity in the midpalate. Dry herbs. Nice red fruit. Pretty interesting and showing better complexity than the Cabernet of the same vintage.
