PnP. Beautiful dark red color. Massive oak bomb on the nose and palate. Oak over powers everything else. Very big, deep wine. Medium finish.

definitely worth the time in the bottle! Still could have sat more but this is drinking nicely now. Not as harsh.

Definitely better with age! Worth it to get the older vintages when they come up. Mellows and has richness to it. Very Rutherford dirt tasting.

Really great and balanced can. Could age even longer bit drinks nicely now. Worth it to age and get library versions of their cabs.

Drank this in 2019. Still a bit sharp but nice Napa valley cab. Rich, complex. Going to try this again in a year or so.
