Last bottle and bought on release. I was afraid that this would not show well due to some heat fluctuations that I had during storage (construction project). The cork did crumble on opening, Opened and decanted. Fruit was fresh and the tannins softened quickly. Great structure and went well with a steak at the Left Bank, Larkspur. Very Good.

Deep red color. Aromas of black cherries, earth, minerals and wood spices. Ripe, highly-extracted fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length and well-integrated oak and tannins. Very full and long on the palate. In sweet spot of maturity.

Plenty of ripen red berries left, soft tannins and medium/full body. Long finish and well balanced. Almost no sediment. No decanted just aeriated from o e bottle to another bottle to filter sediments. Classic excellent Napa Cab.
