Well structured big Napa red. Popped and poured but wish we had given it at least a 1 hour decant. Full bodied with pleasant nose of rose petals, sage and forest floor. Big mouth feel with powerful acidity and tannins. Wish I had more.

Surprised for the quality versus age. Decanted for 90 min. Cork came out clean. Beautiful nose with rose petals and honey suckle. Nicely aged with subtle tannins and refrained acidity, but lively fruit showing. Soft red fruits accented by blue berries and chocolate. Delightful.

Soft aged tannins frame this full bodied beauty. Soft floral notes on the nose evolve to soft red and blue fruits on tasting. Still plenty of life left. Wishing I had more of this vintage.
