Wow, this was a spectacular bottle, just what a first rate Napa cab should be. Lush, plummy fruit, rich on the palate. Long finish with bright acidity. We had it with dry aged porterhouse steak, a match made in heaven.

Very tight. Needs to be decanted for at least an hour beforehand. The dark fruit flavors are fading. Secondary flavors of spice box, loam, and tobacco are coming through. Still a bit tannic, rough, out of balance. Not sure the fruit will last as it continues to age.

Drinking nicely now, but a bit astringent on the finish. Alcohol? More time will help. Good full body with dark fruit.

Excellent bouquet. A bit too many tannins, and noticeable alcohol content.
