An excellent vintage for this wine made from the younger Dominus vines. Rich black currant fruit with a thick, silky mouthfeel and a fine, lifted finish. There are lovely notes of dark spices and red flowers on the back-end. Ripe but not overdone and should improve with a few more years of bottle age.

Only had a 30 minute decant, drank with a filet, wine was kind of flat, nothing really grabbed me, medium buddy, cherry, spice, seemed balanced so not sure what five years would do....not overly tannic and approachable now

This represents a real step-up of the Napanook bottling as it's quite serious and beautifully delineated. Tasted at the winery. 91+
