  Decanted 2 hours before I touched it and therefore, with a group, only one chance to sample. Nice dark cherry and brambly fruit, eucalyptus, chocolate, and spicy nose and palate. Full bodied. A baby Martha’s from a great vintage- but with a ton of room and time to develop to higher highs! More old (and even older) Martha’s please.

  Decanted 2 hours before trying it. Even then, it still showed a bit too young. So happy to see some Napa classics that did not get Parkerized by the late 1990s. Because of its youth, all of the best of what Martha's has to offer were still a bit hidden. I will definitely be looking forward to revisiting this wine in 5 and 10 more years as there is definitive upside remaining.

  This is still showing young and the only one guesses went to the US in the blind tasting. It will improve further so no hurry to drink.
