Enjoyed at Bistro Jeanty in Yountville. Beautiful core of current, dark red fruits and vibrant minerality, probably due to a good deal of the To Kalon fruit in the blend (early Continuum tapped other Mondavi family vineyards while the Pritchard Hill vines were maturing). Decanted and drank over a period of a couple hours. it just continued to soar as the night progressed. Beautiful now but could easily last another 15+ years.

Enjoyed over the course of a two hour dinner. A beautiful melange of citrus, white peach and honey with a delicate floral aroma. The finish was unctuous without being obtrusive. A hint of spice on the finish just allows it to linger on the palate. The only unfortunate part of the evening was recalling at the end of the meal that this was my one and only bottle.

A real stunner. Smoky charred meats with pepper, dark berries and a bright floral component. Long life ahead
