Truly indescribable. This was young at 2015 but already a wine that’s moving and one that truly breeds thoughts. — 2 months ago

Neat how with age this turns into a dill monster but young it’s fresh and tons of apple, pear, and maybe some saline — 2 months ago
2009 Chateau Montelena library release for 2023 from Montelena Estate.
Nose is stunning and perfect black cherry, berries, leather, and some oak
Palate more of the same and tannins that still have quite a bit grip to them but aren’t overpowering.
Once opened up and decanted it was even more magical. However the lower score is because after a while being open the wine turned sour and off. Regardless of the time open I don’t think that should have happened in a few hours — 10 months ago
Great champers but middle of the road. All the usual tasting suspects and lighter on the brioche which I prefer — 2 days ago

No decanter or nothing for this one I’m just raw dogging it the way it was meant to be.
The nose is so much cherry very bold with a touch of earthiness. I could live in this glass forever just smelling it and be happy.
The palate is powerful and grips like crazy. It has an acidity to it that’s lasts forever. More cherry with cranberry and it has this nice juiciness to it that makes your mouth water after each sip and the finish seems to go on forever. I think I want to marry this wine.
After the wine had been open for a while it developed a black licorice note on the nose and I just can’t get enough of this one. — 10 months ago

All Napa cabs taste like unpleasant to me these days and I don’t know what it is. The birth year of my son though made this rating higher — 2 days ago
