strongly disag with previous reviews saying that it’s past it’s peak. if anything i think it was a little tight after a 1.5 hour decant. I may recommend a few more years tbh.

My lone bottle of this vintage and it was delicious. Great bottle of wonderful wine that i purchase on close out from a local store at just above a $100 last Thanksgiving. Figured it was time to consume this and it was. While it could go longer like some notes hinted it had a zest or complexity on the palate that made this a winner. I got spice box paired with an elegant up front fruit profile and nicely integrated tannins that made this a nice standout amongst the group in the wine tasting we had recently. A really pleasant overall wine that stood out against some exceptional other producers.
Double decanted for 2 hours, then another hour at the table. Ate with steak at Quality Meats, paired perfectly. The wine continued to open up through the rest of the meal, I'm glad I decanted it early though because it was tight out of the bottle. Medium- Acid, big/full mouth, classic Napa cab with oak, fruit, dark chocolate/spice. Finish not as long as it could be, probably on the way out. I wouldn't wait much longer to drink.

Lovely floral bouquet. Dark nearly black in the glass. Tannins are smooth and round with nice acidity. Flavors of dark berry, blackberry and cassis.

I thought this bottle was past prime. It was pretty good, but nothing to write home about.
If you have this in your cellar drink up.
