We had this bottle by mistake at a restaurant. We ordered the chardonnay and they opened this cab by mistake. I'm glad they made the mistake because this bottle was excellent. It had soft tannins and had all the great characteristics of a well aged Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Superb!!

Lab BBQ. The cork totally crumbled as I tried to remove it, so had to decant/filter the wine. But this bottle was really singing. Super smooth and mature, but still with solid fruit. Was really excellent. Too bad it was my last.

This underrated vintage continues to deliver. Slightly muted nose of dark fruit and oak, with a more pronounced, melded palate of black & blueberries, worn leather, mocha, with softening, silky tannins, and long finish.

Wow, this was a really nice surprise. This bottle was a recent gift from a friend's cellar, and I worried that it might be over the hill based on the TNs here. To the contrary, this bottle was in nice shape. The texture was silky smooth, the fruit was still pretty good, and it has enough acidity to keep it feeling pretty fresh. Paired very nicely with grilled NY strips. Have one more bottle and looking forward to it. If you have it, I would drink it.
