Disintegrated. Disaggregated. Disappointing. Better the second day, for sure. But I doubt this will ever knit together. Each element: Cab, Merlot, Cab Franc, competes for the attention, with the Cab Franc brassy notes coming to the fore. Maybe in three years? Five? I doubt it. Advice?
Another nice showing from a Napa Valley red blend. Almost equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, this shows savory tones of bright red fruit, conifer, and oak spice on the nose. Plump, succulent, and very balanced, it turns dark fruited and develops licorice the longer it sits. Lovely all around.

Amable blend bordolés... Profundo rojo rubí de capa baja. En nariz predomina la fruta roja (frambuesa), notas tostadas y canela. En boca me encuentro algo acentuada la acidez pero sin llegar a ser desagradable. Frambuesa y blackberry, con algo de tabaco y pimienta blanca. Persistencia media. Dejar respirar para rebajar las aristas.
