Dusty dark tannins. Black fruits and big structure.

Had a bit of browning around the edges. Little bit of prune as well but still nice. Can’t hold these any longer.

I thought the one we had prior was a little better. Some browning around the edge and a taste over extracted which I expect is due to the same factors. Great nose and the flavors were fine. It got more intense with air and that over extracted came out a bit more over time (decanted and the prior one was not). I would not decant and let it shine for a longer period.

Delicious from the half bottle. Gorgeous layered fruit, balanced acidity and smooth tannins.

An awesome effort from winemaker Bob Foley. A Napa cab at it's finest now or you can hold for many years to come. I am loving this wine.
