  Nose of dark fruit, black berry, earth, and spring flowers, same on the palate, medium/big body, tasty, showing its age but a great turkey sandwich accompaniment, almost mouth filling fruit, rich but subdued fruit, time to enjoy is now, and a medium/long finish. Uploaded label/bottle photo.

  Gambled and won.
  Just picked up this bottle a week ago via an online broker and it is still alive.
  Wonderful old napa cab. Color is still there as is the fruit.
  Obviously tannins are soft.
  Going to enjoy the rest of this one. Now.

  A lovely funk, there's a little female locker room, red fruit, terra cota and blueberry. Fine tannins and a long, weaving finish. More terroir driven and quite intriguing. Reminds me of aged Forman. This is just starting to come out of a dumb phase. Drink 2018 - 2021.

  Still some fruit. overshadowed by vanilla oak. Good balance though and showing well enough for all to enjoy.

  This wine showed very well especially after some air. There were layers of complex aromas from botle age with notes of beef, bacon and mushrooms. With the primary fruit flavors less prominent the mineral and earth tones were able to show. Very impressive. I am sorry that I do not have any more bottles of this vintage.
