August 24, 2023 - Napa 2023 - The Sequel; 8/23/2023-8/28/2023: Two different bottles-one opened in the morning from an earlier tasting and one was PnP. I’m guessing the open bottle had 4-5 hrs of air and was outstanding, my favorite of the visit. Blackberry, black cherry, big indeed but refined in way that was balanced. Long finish. Love what Mark Herold did with this in 19. The PnP bottle was a little more boisterous with a slightly higher fruit tone and a few fine tannins hitting the front of the palate. Drink now with 4-5 hr of air or lay down 3-4 years.
