As good as I remember from 10 years ago. No rough edges remaining in this bottle. The XL cork worked well - I bet these have another 10+ years of life. However, I'd drink now as they are in a very good place.

Consistent with a forecast in the previous tasting note from 2010, this wine has held up very well and the fruit is lively, sweet and interesting. Favor tones of dark cherry licorice resonate but do not overwhelm, an impressive offering.

Past its prime; drink now. Flavor is flat; no structure remaining.

This cheap Napa Cab aged awesomely well. Fully mature with plenty of Rutherford dust and medium structure. Great value.

Tasted at winery visit. Very lively with tremendous depth. Lots of life left.
