A friend had been given this a few years back and she shared it with us. She kept it in her cabinet (no temp control) for several years, at least, so I did not have high hopes for it. No matter, it was drinking beautifully! A really lovely and elegant, mature Cabernet, with silky mouthfeel and still an ample amount of fruit. Not sure how this bottle survived those conditions, but it was fantastic.

Quite a lovely wine. I doubt this ever was a barn-burner but there is a decent amount of quality fruit remaining in this otherwise fully resolved Cabernet.

Very uninspiring bottle, i've had 98 tapestry that has showed better than this. Hoping just bottle variation.

Drinking well, delicious, especially for an average at best vintage.

Some black fruit, dried berry, forest floor. Resolved, mature but still a bit of acidity to keep it fresh. Solid mature Napa!
