  Think this could survive another couple years or more.

  A nice Napa Cabernet. Shows some cassis and oak, light to medium body, somewhat dry on the finish. I would suggest drinking now as I feel like others I have had in the past showed better with more fruit.

  Opened for Easter dinner. Decanted and displayed significant sediment. Showed beautiful purple color with hint of bricking. Strong legs in the glass. Nose shows light strawberries, chocolate, and grape jelly. On the lighter side of aromas. On the tongue demonstrates a developed cab; but on the light side. Very drinkable with a smooth finish. Light earth tastes and most tannins have subsided; demonstrated full aging at this point. While this is not complex or layered, it still is a well aged cab that is delicious. Mouth feel is pleasant. I could drink this every day. Not the higher alcohol content expected of a Napa cab but I guess that speaks to its drinkability. I drank this because CT suggests it is beyond its window but I would disagree. Wish I bought more of this 2012.
