From mag. Plum and dried herbs. Iron and leather. Still quite fresh and complex. The best of this wine I’ve had by some distance

Somewhat heat damaged but also kinda bretty. Still super interesting cab and one that harkens back a bit to Old Napa.

The heavy California fruit went to bed and left the place for the adults tannins... Excellent structure, (it's worth the wait she says!!!...) leathery... With patina that feels familiar.. Too bad Cali cabs get drunk too early...
