Last one in my cellar no longer standing.... Great wine after a nice two hour decant. Similar to my last bottle. Just a refined, complex, atypical Napa red.

Great Napa version of a Bordeaux. This wine was substantially better than the last ‘11 I drank.

Maybe a wine for after dinner with a cigar. Port-like. Certainly not to be enjoyed with grilled lamb chops. Alcohol off the chart.

Should have decanted it first. Initial nose from the pour was stewed prunes and tapenade. After about an hour, the dark blue fruit emerged and the wine was definitely a better drink. I was surprised that this wine still needed an hour decant to pull itself together.

Dark red with pronounced tannins, this this tooth staining Boudeaux wannabe is good but it’s high alcohol disqualifies it for me. Decanting is a must to allow for its best side to show.
