Tuesday, May 5, 2015 - Nose: Cherries, Blackberry, Leather and Earth/Floral notes. Complex nose that exudes an old world feel. Palate: Striking blackberry and leather with good mix of spice and some floral notes. Suave and resolved at this point. Finish: Great length and sweet tannin. The lingering blackberry and spice showed the tokalon vineyard source off quite well.
This was the clear standout in a table of good Napa cabs on this night. Has come around very well for a notoriously stubborn napa vintage.
