Black raspberry, briar and eucalyptus on the nose. Sweet black raspberry fruit on the palate. Medium finish.
Night two notes: Judging by the way this held up, I would say this still has a few good years left. This nose has muted but still loads of black fruit left with soft grip.

I think this wine has reached peak. Sweet floral nose and medium body. Some tannins left but the fruit is on the down slope slightly. Second night after vacuvinning. More rounded in body, medium full with black and red fruits. Long finish.

sight - Clear, deeply concentrated garnet, slight rustiness at rim, no gas, light tearing nose - moderate intensity, slight acetate, ripe blue and red fruit, lot of pepper (herbal green, fresh ground black), some rocky soil minerality, wood present but faint, possibly old French oak. palate - dry, ripe red and blue fruit, smoky and spicy, med+ alcohol (little 'hot'), med+ body, med acid, med- tannins, med+ finish, well balanced Really nice example of a down-the-middle Napa cab. Paired with a meaty pizza. Really good. Was thinking 88-89 points. Great value for the price point. Drinking great now, probably won't benefit from much more cellar time.

Dark and perfumed, but lacking the complexity of previous bottles. Its got generic fruit style aromas and is long on the palette.
