Cherries, licorice and mocha. It's a Napa cab through and through. Juicy and hedonistic.

Char. Bramble. Tobacco. Fruit fading but good character in its golden years.

Enjoying this wine a decade after I received it. Back then, it was too tight and harsh. With time, the fruit has really come to the forefront. Getting loads of sweet black fruit paired with bracing acidity but a body to even it out. Still a bit disjointed but with another decade or so this wine should be perfect.

Tight wine - short, hot finish for the first 40min, then everything changed for the better.

Hello, there. You were so ostentatious in your youth - now you are regal and refined. So much black fruit for a 15 year old wine! Great structure remains, but I would drink up in the next two or three years if you have had the patience to keep a bottle of this one around. Sadly, it was my last. #clifflede
