Really like this. Thought I detected so slight cork taint so stuck some saran wrap in the glass which seemed to do the trick. The most surprising thing about this wine is its youthfulness. It seems more like a 4-5 year-old cab than a 10 year old one. Dark red with no hint of bricking; Pretty standard Cabernet Sauvignon nose with some predominance of chocolates notes. On the palate, some tannins persist, and the overall balance is good with a fairly long finish. I think this is pretty high quality Napa cab.

Drinking well. Dark purple color. Needs at least 60 minutes of decanting - opened up well. Dark berries, oak, tobacco - complex with firm tannins and a good nose. Stays on your palate for an extended period. Enjoyed this wine.

Medium ruby red. Dark cherries on the nose with some anise and bitter cocoa. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Dark red profile on the palate with some bitter spices, blue fruit and earth. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2023.

Just ok. Tannins are gone and starting to develop some secondary notes. Probably past it’s prime but went ok with gourmet burgers.

Consistent with the last note. Drinking well but it's an aggressive bottle at 25.8% alcohol.
