Past its prime. The fruit is raisin jam. Medium acid and medium minus tannin. Not unpleasant, but no longer a food wine. Drink to appreciate the complexity developed with age. I should know better than to age a Napa Valley wine longer than 10 years. What a shame, and I enjoyed this wine so much on release!

Was concerned it might be too old but beautiful nose , delicious on the mouth and a smooth velvety finish. Still have one more in my cellar. Highest score i have given in quite a while.

A great wine that paired well with a bacon cheese burger. Never had a bad wine from this winery.

Gorgeous nose, dense and silky with smooth tannins. No rush to drink.

Came across as over ripe, imbalanced and hot. Not too young but time is unlikely to improve it. Auction bottle, no obvious flaw. If rating, 86.
