  TCA. 2 out of 3 bottles. 1 good bottle was phenomenal for the price. Too bad.

  AW93. Baby Martha, this was a PNP and brought back memories of tasting the 07 Martha in Zurich last year. This was clearly a fantastic vintage across the Heitz portfolio and in Napa. This estate bottling is more delicate, floral and with less weight than its older sister, but fantastic to sip and enjoy and will look to pick up more as exceptional QPR.

  Different source than my storage on this one.
  
  I compare the Heitz Napa to the Joseph Phelps Napa in many ways. I believe the Phelps is slightly less vintage dependent than Heitz. But, this 07 like the vintage in Napa, sensational.
  
  This 2007 is peaking. Perfectly ripe & juicy; brambly blackberries, creamy black raspberries, black plum, dark cherries/kirsch, blueberries come on late and poached strawberries on the edges. The tannins are still dark and tarry. Rich, sweet, dark soils, mid & dark berry cola, anise, steeped black tea, dry tobacco, used leather, cedar/sandalwood, clove, nutmeg, some cinnamon & vanillin, moist, grey volcanic clay, dry crushed rocks, limestone, mid spice, hints of grilled meat, some fresh/dry herds, a tad of eucalyptus, stewy/tumble weed, fresh & withering dark, red, blue florals framed in violets, excellent round acidity, the scope of the finishes encompasses; balance for days, nice structure & tensioned, elegant, polished and lasts two minutes.

  First bottle a week or so ago was tainted with TCA. This one was great, though. Tannins have softened, as well as the fruit, and have left behind an elegant, delicate wine. Hour 2 and 3 were the highlights.

  Somewhat light bodied after all this time in the cooler. Floral with a hint of sweetness, very smooth and a perfect compliment to an Italian meal
