A dark, dark plum color with little traces of brown. Noticeable bricking at the edges. Soft cherries and chocolate on the nose primarily but opens up to a little floral and spice notes. Still a good amount of fruit to be found here with raspberries and blueberries. The hint of vanilla and wood after a lengthy decant.

Napa Cab at 21 years of age, still going strong. After a decant of about two hours, this starts to blossoms. Big but not brutish at all. Feels more like an old school Claret at this point. Deep and still a bit sensual with soft tannins. Red and blue fruit dominant but you’ll also get some nice vegetal notes in the mouth. Still alive and kicking but the end is nigh. Drink em if you got em.
