PNP. Super right out of the bottle. Dark, ripe fruit, great nose. Certainly New World but in such a balanced way. Great with and without food. After an hour it fades just a bit so i would be drinking now and hopefully with friends so you enjoy it within an hour of pouring (not that is fades to something unpleasant, just brilliant out of the bottle).

Least ripe wine of the flight which is not a bad think. A hint of green/cab franc, tobacco, black fruit, caramel, leather, milk chocolate and earth. Very floral, cab franc green, finely layered, silky and polished, good mineral presence and a medium to long black and red fruit driven finish. Excellent showing.

What a joy to experience this bottle at age 30. It has aged to perfection. Soft, beautiful, every note on key. A monument to great 1990s Napa cab.
