  Phenomenal Stags Leap juice. Still with 5-7 years ahead. In its prime drinking window. Don’t see it getting any better than this. Rivals Shafer, located across the street.

  Nose of black cherry, black berry, black currants, and dusty, earth, same on the palate, big body, mouth filling fruit, only a hint of soft, silky tannins, complex, elegant, powerful, and rich, will easily last another 7 years, and a wonderful, flavorful, long, long, long finish.

  Nose of black cherry, black berry, black currants, and dusty, earth, same on the palate, big body, very flavorful with mouth filling fruit, much more open than the taste 8 months ago, 4 years to peak, small amount of soft tannins on the mid palate, delicious today, typical Stags Leap finish.

  At Baldacci this morning, Elizabeth poured a blue/black ink into my glass, nose of dusty, forest floor, black currants, blackberry, marion berry and smoke, same on the palate, massive body, intense concentration, flavorful and mouth filling fruit, like eating a hot, baked blackberry tart, small/medium amount of soft tannins, very tasty, needs 5 years to peak and will easily last 25 years and will be a 100 point wine, typical Stags Leap finish.
