Classic eisele sophistication, but certainly onto more tertiary notes with the big fruit all but gone. Notes of graphite, mushrooms, clover, and dried anise. Past its peak, but still worth a drink

WB DC Offline - Mostly Napa (Bistrot Lepic): Deep ruby. On the nose tobacco leather and black fruit. On the palate chocolate and black cherries, savory notes, extreme complexity, never ending finish. One of my wines if the year.

One hour decant, plum color w orange tint, to yellowish at the edge. Nose is red fruit, briny olive, dried leaves. Palate is consistent with the nose, red fruit, olive, herb, earth. Relative to earlier bottles, it feels like the fruit is taking the back seat, in a way that feels maybe a bit past its prime. Still a lovely bottle, but not the show-stopper I experienced earlier. Perhaps just this bottle.

Extraordinary aged Napa Cab here, even better than expected. Fully mature and a showy, secondary nose of truffles, forest floor, cedar, and leather. Same thing on the palate, tons of savory notes of soy, mushrooms, tea and cassis. Would buy again for sure and nice QPR at $200/750ml
