94 Points

Thursday, March 2, 2006 - Out of magnum. Decanted for 3 hours before drinking. Beautiful nose after about 2 hours. Lots of blackberry, chocolate, and coffee aromas. Mouthfuls of black fruits, bitter chocolate and expresso with a super silky LONG finish. Very polished and integrated, but very Napa. Could not be confused with old world. This is a beautiful wine that still has lots of great years left. I would say it hasn't even fully developed yet.
