Beautiful wine, drinking like another decade wouldn't be a problem. Couldn't decant, so had so heat on the pour. Calmed down fairly quickly though, and abundant fruit speaks to youth a decade in. Tannins are are soft, but aggressive enough to give dry finish. Lucky you that have more

Classic and richly extracted, a textbook example of Napa Cabernet, with Paul Hobbs a winemaker. Deep and dark in purple-black color, aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, leather and smoke, but with an elegance and definition not seen often enough in a big Cabernet Sauv. Finish sails on for what seems like five minutes, and shows lots of promise for at least another decade, with a round tannic structure, and snap of acidity. Classic.

So good so good! The tannins were integrated and great fruit. Had a delightful finish and another great wine by the Laird Family
