Aromatics are astounding. Decanted but didn’t really need much, probably helped though but not essential. Classsic bordeaux nose but palette was predominately blueberries as well as your classic leather and cedar. Very good, others adored it, I enjoyed it but a little sweet for my palette.

Return to Napa; 3/6/2022-3/13/2022 (Wineries and various restaurants): The reason people age wines. All of the ones at the tasting were really good but this just stepped up to another level entirely and honestly I don’t think it’s actually anywhere near peak yet. Soft and more integrated and more complex and just overall a really beautiful wine that makes you want to sit and contemplate. Great.

60 min in the glass, my final bottle. This was the strongest bottle yet. Full bodied wine with great balance and finish. Will be mistaken for old world. No rush to drink these but within the next couple of years is recommended.

Beautiful mature Napa Bordeaux blend from Sonoma. Honestly, one of the best Napa cabs I’ve had in many years. Tons of graphite, tar, asphalt, led pencil. A restrained wine for modern tastes but tertiary characteristics abound. Have 2 bottles left…don’t think they need to be consumed ASAP but fully mature and will likely drink mine over the next 2-5 years. Congrats Pierre..well done! You made your point to Jess Jackson with this beautiful wine!
