Medium body elegant style cab. Dark red and prune fruit, mild tannins, medium acidity. Great depth and complexity. I think this needs to be drunk now and in the next couple years, as it is softening up and starting to lose a little of its verve.

An elegant cab. At age 8, it seems in its prime, but I will see how it develops with my other bottles. Prunes, raisins, a mild anise. No noticeable oak detected. Nice medium acidity, refined tannins. Nothing deeply complex, just great balance for a Napa cab. Worth 85 bucks? On the fence on that but definitely very enjoyable.

Very good, noticeably softened at age ten. Prune and red fruit, a little anise, medium acidity, velvet tannins.

Drinking fabulously well now. Deep dark dense plum, cigar box, earth all in balance. Delicious, elegant, complex.

Tight on first taste.
Needs a little time.
