I was fearful that this bottle would be over the hill when I found it in my cellar lost for several years. However after 30min to an hour breathing it proved to be really really good. Classic dustiness of a good napa cabernet. Light cherry/dark fruit initial flavor. Balanced tannins and light oak in the middle flavor and long pleasant light oak/fruit/tannin aftertaste. Almost the lightness of a beautiful Pinot or burgundy. One of the nicest aged cabs that I have had

Surprisingly enjoyable, medium-bodied black cherry/blueberry fruit with sweet cassis flavors, little port-like but not raisony

It was a bit past its prime. Not bad but not outstanding either.
