Lovely floral bouquet. Dark inky red in the glass. Tannins are round and smooth with perfect acidity. Dark fruit flavors of crushed blackberry with a hint of minerality. There’s a depthness to the wine. Very nice.

Great nose, full body with blackberry, cassis, cocoa, graphite, tannins that saturate your tongue and pallet (you don’t want to swallow), and a finish that goes on and on and on.

Almost 96. This wine IMO is one of those examples of what I think when I think about Napa Cab. Nose and entry of black cherry, blackberry cassis, blueberry pie. This wine is mostly youthful fruit but has started to develop and shed the baby fat. Graphite, limestone, cinnamon, roasted black cherries, baked blueberries to the middle and finish. Some restraint with oaked influence, black pepper just sorta trickles in on this incredible 60 second finish. Enjoyed with a Cajun medley of shrimp, sausage, potatoes, corn and garlic and this paired really well. The remaining 100ml was enjoyed a la carte and was just as enjoyable. Drink now or hold 10-15 years.

Decanted briefly from magnum. Rich, deep Napa fruit with supple tannins, showing beautifully.
