On the downhill side. Surprising for something this young.

Sipped out of plastic cups on Amtrak (PVD - NYC). Delicious and sacrilege. As we watched the rain start to pour from the sky, I said, if we drink enough if this, we’ll see a rainbow. And you know what? We did.

Was disappointed. May have been past drinkable date. Nose was funky and off. Fruit flavor was not what I hope far in a high end cab. Not as long a finish as I expected

Champions bottle. Opened tight. Lean. Classic Napa. Then it opened up. Deep and complex. Packed tight. Decades to go. Major thumbs up.

Very nice! Cherries, basil, and slight toast tone. Still some nice fruit.

Delicious Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, jammy with blackberry & chocolate. 10% Merlot & 3% Cab Franc added....20months in French Oak Barrels. Enjoying this 2005 vintage.

On the Oakier side but opened up nicely through dinner. Could have waited another few years.
