  Consistent with earlier tasting notes - dark inky purple color - full bodied - concentrated yet polished and smooth with full flavors of blackberries, ripe plum and currants - with the fruit seeming to trend down somewhat from my recollection of earlier tastings, highlighted by a layer of mocha chocolate, anise, and tones of black tea with a touch of oak and spice - the wine shows great balance of toasted oak and acidity.

  This is inky purple / garnet colored - medium-full bodied - polished and smooth with full flavors of blackberries, ripe plum and currants - the fruit slightly subdued from earlier tastings, highlighted by a layer of smoky creosote and black tea with tones of mocha chocolate and anise with a touch of oak and spice - the wine shows great balance of toasted oak and acidity.

  Tonight, that trending of the fruit becoming more subdued continued, but consistent in the other traits. There were not other indications of diminution from aging.

  Pure cassis, vanilla and sour cherry on the nose. Beautifully built wine with power to spare. Black fruits, anise, black tea, and grippy tannins on the palate. Long balanced finish. Immense pleasure. This is a Napa Cab that is perfectly priced, and I will look for it in future vintages.
