Community Tasting Note

blcarter3 Likes this wine:

Wednesday, November 11, 2020 - Decanted for about an hour, drank over two. Deep purple color, almost electric. Surprisingly tight after the hourlong decant, but opened nicely after about an hour in glass. There's a rich, powerful core, as others have noted, but the wine remains so fresh, with a lively, bright, mouth watering acidity. The fruits are purple: blueberry, blackberry, boysenberry. There's also a firm minerality, dark spice, licorice, a bit of cocoa, and oversteeped black tea from the tannins. The 2013 vintage in Napa was quite structured, and it really comes through here. I have one bottle left, which I won't open for at least five years, perhaps 10. Paired nicely with roast chicken.
