Chateau Montelena 'Montelena Estate' 2003 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

The third bottling we tried from Chateau Montelena at Scot's large format party was the 2003 Estate Cab, courtesy of Mike Parker.   The wine is still closed, and after being open for several hours revealed huge, extracted fruit that's still not fully integrated with the oak.    The elements of a big Napa Cab are there but the balance hasn't arrived yet (I hope it does).   $160 (1.5L); 92 points
