Another bottle from the group that wasn’t stored well. Held up very well all thing considered. Coffee and ripe plum nose. Umami, jam and coffee grounds on palate. Leather texture. Long finish.

Strong showing for this Howell Mountain product. Drank after about a 30 minute decant. Strong fruit with good tannins. Began to fade after a couple of hours, but still enjoyable at 12 years.

Opaque deep purple with black fruits on the nose. Finish is now smooth with softer tannins than previous tastings. PNP so maybe it will improve with a little time and air.

Pretty traditional in style, not over-ripe, too sweet or jammy, some dryness, which I like.
