Liked it so much, I felt compelled to post as well.

2016 MacDonald Cabernet Sauvignon - USA, California, Napa Valley, Oakville (12/30/2023)
Wanted to finish/start the year with a bang. Wow, did this deliver. Decanted for ~8 hours and it was open for business. Darkish fruit aromas, a smidge of underbrush, and is that oak? Hmm, not really, more of that elusive pencil shavings thingy people rave about (and honestly is pretty cool). Still has some grippy tannins (which I love) indicating a long future, but also delicious now. Beautiful balance; both red and blue fruits, long, silky, yet grippy mouthfeel. Awesome. Kept wanting you to go back for more, which, in my opinion, is the sign of a great wine. So refreshing from so many other cali cabs/wines that warrant their own OnlyFans account. (97 points)
