Terrific like my last bottle. In a very good spot but will definitely hold.

Jul 25th, 2020Really quite impressive. Elegant and well balanced. Tannins read as softened but otherwise the flavor profile doesn’t speak too much to its age. Drinking very well now.

Joseph Phelps Insignia 2008: Bold. Rich. Stunning. Velvety black fruits. Mocha. Eucalyptus. Leather. Consisting of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot & 4% Merlot, this was the perfect 1.5L of pure liquid greatness. What better way to celebrate two milestone events but with this extremely special bottle. Simply the finest Napa Valley Bordeaux-style blend ever! Happy Birthday mom & Happy belated 50th Anniversary! Cheers🍷

Surprisingly young, with a lot of life left in this beautiful wine. Great berries, cassis. Had it after a meal and drinks fine as a stand-alone. Coats the tongue and has a 45+ sec finish. Easily in the drinking window for another 10-15 years (had it in February 2020).

Rich, velvety, powerful. Like the most intense ganache you might have. Surprisingly graceful and a benchmark of Bordeaux-style California wine.
