Fabulous wine. Decanted for 2-1/2 hours and it kept getting better as we drank it over the next 1-1'2 hours with steak. Total package, complex fruit opening that developed further making for a great mid-palate followed by a long dry finish. Completely balanced, dense but not over extracted. Much better than the previous bottle we drank with friends (again with steak) a few months ago but only decanted for a little over an hour. Koodoos to the winemaker.
Purpule. Dark plums and sweet spices on the nose. Add crème de cassis on the palate. Subtle and complex. Don’t swirl, just let it slowly unfold. Dense with promise. Will be fun to follow.

3rd wine of the night after a Quintessa and a Bella Oaks. No significant drop off here. Very fragrant nose and full mouthfeel of dark fruits with a long sustained finish. This wine easily hangs with the some of the best Napa has to offer.

Beautiful wine. Nose of dark berry, cassis, tobacco and herbs. Great integration, texture and finish. Lovely wine.

Better the second day. Decant an hour before if you're opening it today. going to be a great wine in a few more years. Still young
