The first wine sampled at our first winery on our first trip to Napa in march of 2016. This was excellent, drinking very well. Cole is great winery producing great products, cab Sauvignon, their Malbec and their Privado. Also a fantastic staff…

I can't really improve my experience beyond that of CT memeber JCGUTHRIE whose note I absolutely concur with. Frankly spot on with mine including the fact that I too have 1 bottle left.

Decanted about an hour. The nose is just gaining some nuance, with blackberries, earth and a touch of red fruit. But the palate was mostly blackberry jam without any of the aged character I was hoping for. This strikes me as a wine moving towards maturity (for my palate, at least), but not there yet. I have one more bottle, which I'll try to hold for another 5 years to see what happens. 90-91

Drank for my 55 bday! Really great wine - evolved over two hours at dinner.

Pop and pour. Ready to drink soon after pouring a glass. Has aged well, certainly in its prime drinking window. Lots of black fruit, very smooth.
