At the Grumm's BBQ we had the 97 Shafer Napa and the 04 Ilsley Cab's. The Shafer was surprisingly good considering it is 12 years old. Good color and body, Soft with light fruit. Real easy to drink after opening. The Ilsley was similar but had slightly more flavor and may improve a little. Drink both now, the Ilsley has a few years left in it.

Incredible cedar box and licorice. Very smooth. Wonderful with lamb chops.
