  Amazing freshness and fruit - if you can access a well-stored bottle, this is a great example of aged Napa

  Quite nice. Shows some age and maturity, but quite vibrant. Lots of cigar box and smoky notes with a bit of fruit. On the palate, it shows a nice balance with black fruit, smoke, and an earthy quality. The California nature comes through. Fully mature, but not over-the-hill. Quite nice now and likely will hold for awhile.

  Nose: Nice nose of black cherry, cedar, burnt sugar and herbs. Opaque in the glass and purple/red in the light. Palate: Entry is still fairly bold with a ripe edge to the fruit. Red currant, rip cherries, and blackberry notes on entry followed by a melange of leather, dusty earth, eucalyptus, thyme and sage notes. Finish: Complete and showing its age. Dusty tannins, more red fruited notes and some herbs.
  
  This is a classic expression of Oakville, and one of the reasons why it is a centerpiece of Napa Valley. The old style really shines here.

  Garnet, with definite browning at the edges. Mostly opaque. Pronounced sweet oaky aromas of red and black fruits, with complex nose. Definite mint-herbal aromas suggestive of the old Martha's Vineyards. Soft, supple, round, no tannin left, has aged extremely well. Still going strong seven hours later, when I had the last glass. A rare treat to taste an old cab that has aged this well.
