  Impressive! Enjoyed in Kauai with a group of dear friends. One member of our group ordered a glass of 2016 Neal cab from the wine list. We opened this bottle when we got back to our vacation rental. The difference a decade makes was profound! So well integrated; so lush; so delicious!
  
  One downside was that I did not have a Durand corkscrew and this cork decided to disintegrate under the pressure of an inexpensive waiter's 2-step corkscrew. We salvaged the wine by pouring it through cheesecloth! Yeah!

  Fully mature, typical napa cab, good value for what we paid. Neal has been a cellar favorite for us for years, consistent, if not remarkable.

  This wine is still going strong! We last enjoyed this wine in 2013 - 8 years ago! It has mellowed a little, but the flavors are still wonderfully rich. The tannins are completely integrated. The nose is gorgeous and encourages you to spend some time just inhaling the intoxicating aromas before you sip it. Gorgeous! Honestly, I think it can last another few years! I hope so! I have 3 more bottles!! 🙂

  From double magnum. Deep ruby. Lovely vanilla with blackberries and rich raspberries on the nose. Delicious wine with delicious rich raspberries and vanilla tart. not overly nuanced, but quite rich and tasty.
