  This last bottle of four is showing quite well. Still an opaque dark purple with no hint of bricking. Nose shows an opulent mix of dark berries, spice, and maybe a touch of menthol. A little bit of alcohol on the nose as well. The pallet is plush and refined – this really tastes like an expensive wine-and tannins are minimal and fine. In addition to the dark berry fruits and spice, the palate also reveals some evidence of Promenade oak (kind of a coconut note). Finishes moderately long. All in all, a luxurious and enjoyable wine. Might rebuy are $39.

  Starting to lose its stuffing, like a bodybuilder who stopped using steroids and the muscles just turn to flab. I suspect this wine is best in the first 10 years.

  In a great spot, no upside left here but didn’t get any sense it was near a downward trajectory. No reason to hold.

  Decanted prior to enjoying with a grilled ribeye steak. Very aromatic, and expressive displaying mature aromas of spicy red currant, cooked raspberry, stewed red plums, ripe cherries and complex notes of chewing tobacco, worn leather, and dark, crusty earthiness. Velvety and rich mouthfeel, as the tannins, and acid are very well integrated. Nice balance of fruit, complex flavors, tannin and acid. Probably won’t benefit from further cellaring. Solid finish. Not quite as impressive as I remember two years ago, but nonetheless an outstanding and mature Napa Cabernet. Should drink well through 2020.

  Decent Cab - isn’t show the age or depths of flavors I would have expected. QPR is OK.
