  I don't know who assigned a 2016 "drink by" date, but this is still fine. Maybe not cult-worthy, but nice balance, depth, flavors, etc. And from the maligned 2000 vintage. What's up with that? Fun to drink. Not getting any better, but still going fine.

  超过二十年的时光没有抹去开瓶浓郁的橡木桶痕迹。在甜美的香草气息散去后，成熟黑醋栗出现并占据主调，展现了健康、阳光和活泼的形象。随着醒酒，出现更多雪松木和薄荷的香气，后者让这款酒的形象变得更加鲜明——那种嚼着口香糖离开健身房之前，还会和每个熟面孔打一遍招呼的男人类型。这就是那种自身个性非常鲜明地呈现出来的酒，开朗而清爽。至于自己的形象是让人如沐春风还是过于卖弄，那就任由对方自行判断去了。

  From a mag and decanted for about 1 hour. Marvelous wine, absolutely fascinating. A "soft" vintage + 21 years of aging equals a dazzling Napa CAB!

  This rich but subdued wine is on the tail end of its drinking window, but its considerable integration and depth make up for its cool and condensed nature (read: lack of freshness and acidity, understandable at this age but worth noting). Garnet in color; full in body; aromas of dried cherry, sage, cardamon, and rose petals. Cool, somewhat condensed flavors of boysenberry, coffee bean, worn leather, and bay leaf, with a dusty and silky finish that seems a little heavy on its feet. 14.5% alcohol. Made by Helen Turley. Drink soon.
