Lithe, supple and fully mature, this elegant lady still has so much to offer. Fruit is there, vanilla, smoky oak. A treat for the senses and the palate. Didn't want it to end! If stored properly, seek it out and enjoy!

This is a gorgeous wine that is still in great shape. Had with filet mignon and crab meat and it was perfect. Still gobs of fruit left but the tannins are smooth as silk. Drink now if you've got it but only because it's so good... no need to rush due to any worries over whether it is still holding or not.

Cedar, Oak, charcoal, black currant, with layers of fruit on the palate, silky mouthfeel, full body and long finish -- Wow! Could have rated higher, but some thought the oak was overpowering; just right for Napa Cab lovers. 1 more bottle of this beauty.

This bottle was arguably better than the last. Needs some time open before it shows it's stuff.

This bottle was still in fantastic shape. Paired perfectly with filet mignon and sweet corn. Wish I had about 100 more bottles of this.
