1hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A striking still dark magenta color with little bricking. On the nose: Inviting notes of sweet red/blue fruit, smoked meat, floral, worn leather, nutmeg, wet forest floor. Taste: velvety, smooth, elegant, savory mature wine with dried cherries, cocoa, leather, scorched earth, and a minerally mocha long lingering finish. YUM!! — 6 months ago

I had a 1997 just over 2 years ago. Even with a 4 hour decant it wouldn’t budge. Still have a mag of 97, I don’t know when to even think about opening that one.
Fantastic lovely after 23 years still have a lot of life left well made — 8 months ago
Nose is faint, fully resolving into the body. Body is soft and supple but wonderful experience on the palate with medium finish. Great wine. Tannins are still there, but holding the body with gossamer gloves. — 9 months ago
Fragrance of black cherry and spice. Carries over to the palate. Smooth at 8 years old though not overly complex. What you would expect of a fine Napa Cab in this timeframe. September 2025 — 10 months ago
Loved it. A well balanced Napa cab. Big fruit but had nice balance. Great nose. Probably gets even better w another 5+ yrs. but seemed fairly mature already. Great w ribeye. — 8 years ago
