Amazing. Continued to blossom with time. Layers of boysenberry, dark chocolate covered cherries. Tobacco. Cedar chips.

Very classic Napa cab. Had it with skirt steak which was good paring. Probably had at least five more years of aging before peaking.

Not really into this style anymore. A little overripe and extracted, but a good enough match for ribeyes.
