  Absolutely beautiful for 28 years old. Exactly everything you'd want and expect. Plenty of fruit.

  After buying this bottle, I saw some very low scores on CT and was a little bummed. Opened and decanted for just under 2 hours- the wine was bursting with perfumed flowers, amazing. The wine was rich but not thick with dark cherry, sandalwood, blackberry flavors with slight touch mocha. This was a killer wine in it prime. Wish I had more.

  I decanted this 5 times over an hour before drinking in earnest. Deep, dark, firm and tight. First notes are menthol, pepper, earth. After more time, a dark black cherry skin starts to emerge. I got the very faintest whiff of brett but really not enough to talk about. Remarkable structure. It was a wonderful experience to drink it even though it was way too young. This wine is going to be exceptional but I really think it needs at least another 10 years and possibly more. It is very old world style wine. I really liked it. Glad I have a few more bottles.

  Just fine 3 hours after opening but just plain dumb initially despite repeated splashing and swirling. Now has dried cherry, a hint of plum which has replaced the initial eucalyptus and medicinal notes. Still has a lot of life . This was my only bottle so no past or future comparison for me.

  Dunn Howell Mountain Vertical B-day Dinner (Maple & Ash): Snuck this one blind into a Dunn HM vertical dinner. Quite obviously a classic Napa Cab to all tasters. While this was nice, it wasn't as exciting as a bottle tasted a few months ago. Well balanced and all in proportion, I just found the intensity a bit lacking and that the wine showed simple relative to the Dunn HMs.
