  Has lost a lot of its "pop" since my last bottle. This bottle was a bit muted and tasted more like it's on the decline that the incline.

  Wow! This is what the finest of wines should taste like. 30 minute decant and then drank over an hour with siblings, all high end wine drinkers. Stunning. It was NOT the heavy fruit extracted blow out your taste buds style that some prize in cult wines. It was a full palate more reminiscent of an excellent Haut Brion. Starts off elegant but subtle and magically builds over a minute or two long after you thought you swallowed.

  This appreciated 30 minutes in a decanter, but otherwise ready to go. This is 12 year old napa cab that tastes like it should. Round, but not overwhelming fruit, acids in balance, the mouthfeel “makes sense” but tannins are in the back seat at this point. Lavender note mid-palate, some black pepper, plum, blackberry & raspberry.

  Wow, cherries and currants just roll out of the glass. Finishes with chocolate and herbs.
