A few years since my last bottle, which was amazing. This time, not so much. Nose was more on the pruny side, and the flavors were more muted. Possibly an off bottle, but if not, this isn’t aging well at all.

Had this the night after the 2007. This has pleasantly more tannin giving it a much longer finish than the 2007. The nose and mid palate aren’t in the same ballpark though. A worthy Cab at this price but not a standout, whereas I’d buy a case of the 2007 in a heartbeat.

Right wine on the right night with the right people. I’ve loved all the Gallica wines I have tasted, and this was no exception. Both lithe and powerful somehow, with a finish that was deep, persistent, and captivating. This is why I love wine. Didn’t seem like a ten year old Napa wine. Not sure how much it has aged, but what it offered was great.

Good solid Cali Cab in a good place. Again, not sure I need another one of these in this price range when it comes to rebuying, but this is very nice.
