Will review after bottle — 10 days ago
Intense and pretty with a bit of VA on the nose at first that blows off. Very pure fruit but still young and quite gnarly. Serious stuff, dark and intense. Will this ever dance lightly? I don’t know… impressive but less drinkable now that the 2000 alongside. — 17 days ago
Finally a Mr Duffy bottle that aged well. Deep color with crisp citrus. Delicious — a month ago
Light red, lovely with roast chicken, veal or pork. — 3 days ago
Magnum from winery in early 00s. Perfect color and big, deep aromas of cassis, horsehair, menthol & sage and vanilla oak, A polished feel (new oak). Just smooth & effortless, hardly any tannin on the finish. No sediment! Shows liveliness of its younger years, big sweet fruit and slight alcohol (like old whiskey). Stunned it kept in perfect condition — 12 days ago
First time tasted the oak was not so interfering. It may improve notably with time — a month ago

93-95+ with proper aging.
This paired well with the flank steak w/ mash potato purée prepared by the Wynn Hotel.
A very solid & consistent producer of Napa Cabernet. I do enjoy the Napa 21 reds. High quality vintage.
