  Red with a tiny brownish edge, high intensity. Developed to mature nose, medium intensity. Integrated, concentration, black currant, oak with vanilla touch. On the palate a slight sweetness, medium(+) acidity, medium(+) small tannins, full bodied, 14,5%. Intensive, fruit driven. Black currant, oak, mint. Power. Thick and chewy. Very good length.
  Drink over three days, calms down in its power day two and three.

  Fragrant and complex bouquet of cigar box and cassis on the top note, dried herbs and dark chocolate in the middle layer with prominent earthy nuance in the base. This is less fruit driven than others from the same region, more towards the Bordeaux traits. Nose is opened and balanced within minutes in the glass. Palate echoed the notes in the nose, with hints of smoked plumminess in the mid palate. Good grip from entry to finish, just lacking some definition and layering. Close to full-body with a big structure that has some bite at the edges. There is a step down of concentration as it transits from mid-palate to finish, which is disappointing. However, the smoked cigar and herbs linger at the back of the throat for a while. Good nose but the same impression did not follow through to the palate which is somewhat inconsistent. Ready to drink now without decanting. It should hold very well for the next few years.

  Last bottle. Followed this from release. First taste in 2012 was hard, tannic with a classic fruit profile in background. It remains hard with one of the most austere fruit profiles I've seen in a Mondavi Napa. Some fruit but more vegetal and hard - not flawed. Very good, but not a typical vintage for Mondavi. Score reflects more my taste and expectation. This is holding well and has a long life ahead.
