This is a special release that used to be made for the French Laundry. I don't think they make it for them any longer though. Always in 375's IIRC. Screw cap. Ruby/purple color. The nose has cherries, dark cherries and a green streak that I did not like. Much, much better on the palate though. Juicy black cherries. Some depth. Nice texture. I am not an 11 fan in general. This was excellent but not up to the level of other vintages IMO.

This is a good but not great wine. Good in its depth and structure. Not great in that it didn't do much else. Not much excitement.

Perfectly balanced. Will likely improve even more.
