Similar to previous notes though this has opened up more and is more ready for prime time though is still quite structured and will benefit from more time. This is a powerful style, compact but has some lovely elegant deep red fruit. I much prefer this Napa vintage to '13 in general.

Very good wine, tight at first but after 50-60 minutes started to shine and it develop nice tobacco notes with blackberries. It has a long life ahead but it's drinking nicely now!

This has opened up so much since our last bottle two years ago. Drinking great now. Easily five more years in it.

Decanted about two hours. Still way too young for me. Started to open up over dinner, but still very primary. Very good potential.
