Totally consistent, replay of previous tasting dinner experience two years ago. Dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, bright lively concentrated black berry and black currant fruits with a layer of cedar accented by tobacco, earth, hints of licorice and mint with a moderate tannins and tangy acidity on the finish. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2024/03/paradigm-napa-valley-oakville-cabernet.html

Dark garnet colored, medium full bodied, bright lively concentrated black berry and black currant fruits with a layer of cedar accented by tobacco, earth, hints of licorice and mint with a moderate tannins and tangy acidity on the finish. At 18 years this may be at the apex of its drinking window and profile, still has several years remaining, but not likely to improve with further aging. The fill level, foil and most importantly, the cork were in ideal condition. https://unwindwine.blogspot.com/2022/06/tomahawk-beefsteak-and-paradigm-napa-cab.html

Crimson. Rose, cherry, leather nose. Plum and cherry and then some earth and wet leather, but primarily fruit.

Not the Paradigmatic Great Napa Cab. A bit underpowered for my taste.
