  Classic old Napa!! The tertiary nuances are just right! The nose, the palate. Red fruit, cedar, leather, truffles. Bourdeaux style all the way! Alive and kicking still!

  Age certainly helps wine although is prob say this bottle with its storage was maybe even starting into the downslope it’s more secondary and tertiary missing the Napa fruit. But tasty as it is.

  Last bottle if the night. It’s good Cali can with a bit of age. Funny because I remember drinking one of these back in 2013 at a ‘finish the wine’ party. We got smarter since then. Not sure it’s getting better but plenty of life left.

  Great dinner hosted by Doug and Debbie, this one brought by one of the other guests. Splash decant after a 30 minute slow ox - drank over 30 minutes.
  
  Medium/dark reddish brown color, a bit cloudy. Nose showing dark berries, leather, cocoa and earth. Palate showing dusted blackberry, blue fruits, cedar and smoke. Medium weight and finish.
  
  I would drink up here, still nice to drink. Nicely aged - elegant, still showing interesting fruits and secondary notes - but past its peak (IMO) Late in secondary stage, likely to be tertiary in 3-4 years.

  Entire cork saturated. My bottle was way beyond its peak. If you own this vintage, drink now.
