Drank this with KenV in Albany. This was really dark, and full bodied. Smooth and tasty. After 2 hours this really opened up. Sorry, no detailed notes were taken at dinner. I drank my other bottle a few years ago. Sorry that I don't have another bottle left.

Drank next too a 2012 Rivers Marie Napa. This came across as darker and more brooding. Early on that seemed better, but by the end of the night, it seemed to lack nuance - a bit of a bruiser. But, still, a really nice wine, and a great QPR.

This started off a little too sweet, but came into balance with about a half an hour of air. Tasty stuff, but I think the Quivet cab is better in this vintage.

It has been a while since I checked in on this. It is drinking very well and the fruit is more subtle.

Cherry nose and palate, a bit of Christmas spice. Good acidity. Best after 60 min of air but pretty flat on day 2.
