Stunning wine - thank you so much @David L - the edges were soft with really nice balance- fruit still present - finish was elegant and purposeful- it was past prime by a 6-10 years but so enjoyable

Dec 14th, 2013Pretty old, but a treat to experience a piece of Napa history. Good shape for a 38 year old wine. Some fruit left, herbs, nice tannins.
